Question:

Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my

regulator. What causes this? 

And -  

My grill has a low

flame and sometimes will not light. Why?

Answer:

The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator.

A  low  volume  of  sound  is  normal  and  will  not  interfere
with the operation of your grill. Loud or excessive regulator
humming  and/or  low  flow  and  intermittent  lighting    may
be  caused  by  the  regulator's  excess  gas  flow  device.
Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what
triggers  the  regulator's  safety  device  to  restrict  gas  flow,
preventing excess gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main
Burner  farthest  from  the  fuel  source  every  time  will  help
elimin ate  air  po ck ets  in   the  man ifold.  Note:  This
procedure  should  be  done  every  time  a  new  LP  Gas
tank  is  connected  to  your  grill.

Question:

Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in

other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?

Answer:

Never

  lean  over  the  grill  cooking  area  while

lighting your  gas grill.  Keep your  face and  body
a safe distance (at least 18 inches) from the front
of  grill  when  lighting  your  grill  by  match.

    WARNING

!

!

Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better
performance?

Question:

Answer:

Strong  winds  and  low  temperatures  can  affect  the
heating  and performance  of your  gas  grill so  factor
in   these  elements  when  positionin g  your  grill
outdoors  for  cooking.

In 

windy  conditions

,  always  position  the  front  of

grill  to  face  oncoming  wind  to  reduce  smoke  and
heat blowing in your face and prevent potential haz-
ards  to  yourself  and  grill.

Use  your  grill at  least  3  feet  away  from any  wall  or
surface.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from combustible
objects  that  can  melt  or  catch  fire  (such  as  vinyl,
wood  siding,  fences  and  overhangs)  or  sources  of
ignition  (including  pilot  lights  on  water  heaters  and
live  electrical  appliances).

Never

  use  your  gas  grill  in  a  garage,  porch,  shed,

breezeway  or  any  other  enclosed  area.

Never 

use  your  gas  grill  on  a  balcony,  deck,  or

patio  above  the  ground  floor  of  your  home.

Never 

obstruct  the  flow  of  ventilation  air  around

your  gas  grill  housing.

No, your gas  grill is manufactured to  exact specifications
and  is  certified  for  LPG  (Liquid  Propane  Gas)  or  NG
(Natural  Gas)  use  only.  For  your  safety,  conversion  kits
are  not  available,  nor  will  we  sell  or  otherwise  provide
parts  or  information  to  be  used  to  convert  your  grill. Any
attempt  to  convert  your  grill  is  dangerous  and  will  void
your  warranty.

If your ignition  fails to work or your  battery needs replac-
ing,  you  can  manually  light  your  grill  by  paper  match.
Insert  a  paper  match  into  the  silver  Lighting  Stick  and
follow  the  Manual  Grill  Lighting  Instructions.  Next,  light
the  match  and  place  the  Lighting  Stick  through  a  Cook-
ing  Grid  or  Lighting  Tube  (if  the  unit  is  equipped  with
one).  Turn  the  correlated  Control  Knob  to  the  HI  setting
to  release  gas.  The  Burner  should  light  immediately.

Question:

If my ignitor or battery is not working how can I light
my grill manually?

And 

 - Why would I need the silver

lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?

Answer:

Turn gas off at source  and turn Control Knobs OFF.
Wait at  least 5  minutes for gas  to clear,  then retry.

Question:

My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer:

     Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source

first.  This  will  draw  gas  across  the  manifold  helping
prevent air  pockets which  obstruct gas-flow  and prevent
proper  grill  lighting. Also  try  this  procedure:

     3.

    1.

   2.

If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to
clear  and  repeat  the  lighting  procedure.

If  your  grill  still  fails  to  light,  turn  the  Burner  Control
Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test
of ALL gas connections and gas sources as explained
in  the  Use  and  Care  section  of  this  manual.

Question:

Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed

     somewhere for reference?
Answer:

The  serial  and  model  numbers  are  listed  on  a  silver
CSA label placed on the grill. This label is located on the
Rotisserie  Burner  Wind  Shield.

Turn  all Control  Knobs  to  the OFF  position.
Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
For Natural Gas close  Shut Off Valve.
Disconnect  regulator  from  LP  Gas  tank.
For  Natural  Gas  disconnect  regulator  from
12  ft.  Natural  Gas  Hose.
Let  unit  stand  for  5  minutes.
Reconnect regulator  to the  LP Gas  tank.
For Natural Gas reconnect regulator to 12 ft.
Natural  Gas  Hose.
Open  grill  Lid.
Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn.
For Natural Gas open Shut Off valve.
Light  main  Burner  farthest  from  fuel  source.
Turn the tank valve slowly one more ¼ of one
turn for ½ of one complete turn.
Continue  to  light  Burners  moving  towards
the  fuel  source.
Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one
turn  on  LPG  models.
