TROUBLESHOOTING...connued
First, conrm that the smoker is geng electricity by checking
the light or the touch pad of your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.
Check the Igniters
Your Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ uses an electric spark ignion
system.
 Your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ can be deacvated by
pressing the POWER ON/OFF switch located on the le hand
side of the smoker.
 The igniter is clearly visible inside the smoker, look for a spark.
 If it does not spark, call Lynx for service at 888-289-5969.
Check the regulator.
Make sure that the regulator and hose assembly is the one
designed for and supplied with your Lynx smoker and that
it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See
INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided by Lynx Grills must be
used if your smoker is set up for use with a liquid propane
gas cylinder. If using hard –piped LP contact Lynx for a free
hard-pipe regulator.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to
the regulator aached to the back of the smoker. The
regulator contains a exible diaphragm and should not be
allowed to touch the smoker body or its surroundings.
Check for obstrucons.
Ensure that the burner is clean and free from obstrucons.
Bulk Liquid Propane Cylinder Users:
Bulk liquid propane cylinder lines must be properly
regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator
supplied by Lynx and converted to liquid propane
gas. Also, ensure that you do not have more than
one regulator in line.
Natural Gas Units:
 Supply line
Ensure that the supply line is at least ¾” inside diam-
eter or 1” outside diameter.
 Check Line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C.
and manifold pressure not less than 4” W.C.
 Check burner for blockages.
if this should occur..
Turn the gas tank valve clockwise to o.
Release the pressure to the tank regulator by parally
removing the hose connecon. You should hear a hiss as
the pressure releases. Reconnect the regulator and
SLOWLY open the tank valve. This will reset the tank ow
control.
SMOKER WILL NOT LIGHT
 Check power
Ensure that the smoker is connected to a live AC
power source, or the GFCI outlet has not been
tripped.
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
LIGHTS WILL NOT LIGHT
Proper levelling during installaon is crical. A smoker
that is out of level will cause errac burner combuson
and
inecient, uneven heang. A carpenter’s spirit level
should be used to level the smoker both front-to-back
and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
 Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
 Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
Liquid Propane Units:
Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost empty cylinders may not have sucient
pressure to run the burner at high heat.
Have the line pressure checked by a qualied
technician.
Flow liming device?
Improper lighng procedure may have acvated the
liquid propane cylinder’s ow control device,
reducing heat output.
