Prevent Grease Fires by:
• Keeping BBQ clean
• Frequently cleaning the grease collection plate and grease cup
• Frequently changing the ignitor battery.
• Not cooking over maximum heat for extended periods of time
• Burning off build-up on the cooking grates and heat plates after each use
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• DO NOT
throw water on a grease fire
• DO
make sure that you follow all safety checks, maintenance procedures and instructions outlined in this manual before
operating the BBQ
• DO
protect your family and home by performing regular cleaning and maintenance of key BBQ parts including burners,
flame tamers, grease tray and cooking grates.
• DO keep baking soda handy to extinguish a fire
Resolving IGNITER Performance Issues
If you are having difficulty with your
BBQ’s Electronic Ignition
a quick visual inspection of the following will help to
identify the cause:
1. Check for un-plugged electrode wires or ground wire.
2. Check wires for damage including tears or breaks
3. Check electrode for cracks in the porcelain insulator
4. Replace battery. Ensure battery is installed correctly
5. Check battery igniter cap for proper threading
6. Check gap between electrode, gas collector box and burner
7. Check for damage to Electronic Igniter Box.
8. Check to ensure that the Electrode sparks when the igniter button is pressed.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Igniter does not spark –
Burner lights with match but not with
the igniter
Electrode Fouled
Wipe the electrode with a soft, clean
cloth. If electrode has any build up
of grease or corrosion, lightly sand elec-
trode tip and clean with alcohol.
Electrode or burner is wet
Wipe both parts dry before trying
to re-light.
Electrode Porcelain or ceramic
insulator cracked
As the grounding surface of the burner
becomes coated with grease and
residue, the porcelain insulator on the
electrode can crack from the heat. If
this occurs, the spark being transferred
through the insulator will “bleed” from
the crack (cracks collect moisture and
reduce the spark), and ignition will oc-
cur only after a build-up of gas or not
at all. Replace electrode.
