TROUBLESHOOTING
IF SIDE BURNER FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
1)
TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE, TURN CONTROL KNOB TO “OFF”, AND WAIT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.
2)
CHECK GAS SUPPLY/CONNECTIONS.
3)
REPEAT LIGHTING PROCEDURE.
IF SIDE BURNER STILL FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY,
TURN “OFF” GAS AT SOURCE, TURN CONTROL KNOB TO “OFF”
,
WAIT FOR SIDE BURNER TO COOL, AND CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
A.
MISALIGNMENT OF BURNER TUBE OVER VENTURI TUBE
CORRECTION:
REPOSITION BURNER TUBE TO PROPERLY SEAT INSIDE VENTURI TUBE.
B.
OBSTRUCTION IN GAS LINE
CORRECTION:
REMOVE FUEL LINE FROM THE SIDE BURNER. NEVER SMOKE AROUND EXPOSED GAS LINE! OPEN GAS
SUPPLY FOR ONE SECOND TO BLOW ANY OBSTRUCTION FROM FUEL LINE. CLOSE OFF GAS SUPPLY AT SOURCE AND
RECONNECT FUEL LINE TO THE SIDE BURNER.
C.
PLUGGED ORIFICE
CORRECTION:
REMOVE THE VALVE FROM THE VENTURI TUBE
AND GENTLY CLEAR ANY OBSTRUCTION IN THE ORIFICE WITH A
FINE WIRE. RE-INSTALL THE VALVE INTO THE VENTURI TUBE. IF
AN OBSTRUCTION IS SUSPECTED IN THE GAS VALVE OR THE
VENTURI TUBE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SIDEKICK SIDE BURNER
DEALER OR GAS APPLIANCE SERVICE PERSON FOR ASSISTANCE.
D.
MISALIGNMENT OF IGNITER ON BURNER
CORRECTION:
CHECK FOR PROPER POSITION OF IGNITER TIP.
THE TIP OF THE IGNITER SHOULD BE RELATIVELY CLOSE TO
THE BURNER PORTS AND FREE FROM GREASE FOR SPARK
DISCHARGING. THE IGNITION WIRE SHOULD BE FIRMLY
CONNECTED TO THE VALVE IGNITION AND IGNITER. REPLACE
THE IGNITION WIRE IF THE WIRE WERE BROKEN OR CRACKED.
WITH GAS SUPPLY CLOSED AND THE CONTROL KNOB SET TO
“OFF”, CHECK THE POSITIVE IGNITER INDIVIDUALLY FOR
PRESENCE OF SPARK AT IGNITER TIP. PUSH THE CONTROL
KNOB IN FULLY AND ROTATE ABOUT 1/4 TURN TO THE LEFT
(COUNTER-CLOCKWISE) UNTIL CLICK IS HEARD; THE TRIGGER
HITTING THE STRIKE BLOCK SHOULD PRODUCE A BLUE SPARK
AT THE IGNITER TIP. RETURN CONTROL KNOB TO “OFF”.
IF RE-IGNITION IS NECESSARY
WHILE THE SIDEKICK SIDE BURNER IS STILL HOT, YOU MUST WAIT FOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE MINUTES BEFORE COMMENCING
TO RE-IGNITE (THIS ALLOWS ACCUMULATED GAS FUMES TO CLEAR). IF ALL CHECKS/CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AND
THE SIDEKICK SIDEBURNER STILL FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, CONSULT YOUR SIDEBURNER DEALER OR GAS APPLIANCE
SERVICE PERSON.
FLASHBACK
WHEN FIRE OCCURS IN AND AROUND THE BURNER TUBE, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF GAS AT ITS SOURCE AND TURN THE CONTROL
KNOB TO “OFF”. WAIT UNTIL THE SIDEKICK SIDEBURNER HAS COOLED COMPLETELY, THEN CLEAN THE BURNER TUBE AS
DESCRIBED ON PAGE 14.
