end(s) of carryover tube(s).
Prevention/Solution
• See Section I of Electronic Ignition System.

• See Section III of Electronic Ignition System.
• Use long-stem match (fireplace match).
• See “Match-Lighting” section of Use and Care.
• Check for gas in LP cylinder.
• Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low,
turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator.
Reconnect regulator and leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait
30 seconds and then light grill.
• Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from
