SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
If you smell gas while the smoker is operating,
immediately turn off the burner and shut off the main fuel
supply.
• Perform a leak test. (See INDEX: “Leak Test
procedure” for further details)
• Check for blockages.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Please check a few things before calling for service:
• Is there fuel supplied to the smoker?
• Is the main shut off valve open?
• Are you using the correct type of fuel (Liquid propane
or natural gas)
• Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently
refilled the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection
tight?
• Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder?
• Is the smoker plugged in to a live electric circuit?
• Has the GFI outlet tripped requiring a reset?
PROBLEMS WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
If you do not have at least a 60% signal on your
smart device while standing at your smoker, your smoker
will not perfor m optimally. Here are some suggestions for
improving your network:
Position your wireless router, modem router, or access
point in a central location. The best place for a Wi-Fi
router is in the center of your home.
• The distance between your router and your
Sonoma Smoker should not exceed 50 ft.
• Verify that there are no obstacles between your
Sonoma Smoker and the router.
• Appliances, metal objects, cordless phones, stone
walls, fireplaces, etc. decrease Wi-Fi strength.
• Check the cable that connects the modem to the
router to make sure it is in good condition. If not,
replace the cable.
• Replace your router antenna with a Hi-Gain wireless
antenna. They boost the signal strength and aim the
signal in one direction.
• The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ will perform better
with an N router.
• Reduce wireless interferences by using devices that
communicate via the 5.0 GHz frequency instead of the
more common 2.4 GHz frequency (same frequency
as baby monitors, garage door openers, cordless
phones, microwave ovens).
• iPhone 5, 5C, 6, or newer, iPad version 2.0 or newer
or Android 4.4 operating system or newer
Add a wireless repeater
A wireless repeater is a device that extends your wireless
network’s range without requiring you to add any wiring.
Place the repeater halfway between your wireless router
and your Sonoma Smoker to get an instant boost in your
wireless strength.
For additional troubleshooting of wireless connections,
contact your local Wi-Fi installation expert.
Refer to “Set Up Guide” for connection details.
