CAUTION
A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause
injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.
Moving the grill:
•
Move the grill slowly. DO NOT run with or pull the grill behind
you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.
•
DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on
the cooking surface(s) or side table(s).
After moving the grill:
•
Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the
movement.
•
Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over
the orifices.
Steps to follow before storing grill:
•
Clean the grill.
•
Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.
•
For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach and
leave the cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, turn off the fuel
supply to the L.P. cylinder and cover the grill for protection from
the weather. Grill covers may be purchased from a grill dealer
or manufacturer.
WARNING
If the grill is not in use, the gas MUST be turned off at the fuel
supply cylinder.
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not is use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve.
Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Grill will not light when the Igniter
button is pushed or has incomplete burner
flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Dead Battery. Install a fresh 9 volt battery in the electrode
module.
2. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder valve is open and the
cylinder has fuel.
3. Make sure one of the burners is turned on. Allow up to five
seconds for gas flow to ignite.
4. If burner lights with match but not Igniter, check the ceramic
electrode position near the burner, the condition of the Igniter wire
and its connections. Perform Igniter test and replace any
damaged parts.
5. Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
6. Misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position venturi over orifices.
7. Burner ports, orifices, valves or hose have blockage. Clean the
components.
8. Crimped fuel supply hose needs straightened.
9. Regulator failure or damaged hose need to be replaced by an
authorized service dealer.
10. Make sure the hose to the cylinder is properly assembled. See the
section titled “Connecting Type 1 L.P. Gas Cylinders”.
Problem: Yellow flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nest in the venturi and clean
the venturi.
2. Clean off any food residue, grease or seasoning salts on the burner.
3. Air may be in the cylinder if the cylinder was not properly
purged. Use up remaining gas; the yellow flame may
disappear with use.
4. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over
the orifice.

Troubleshooting
(continued)
Problem: Flame blows out on low setting or
has uneven heat distribution.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nests in the venturi and clean
the venturi.
2. Cold grill needs to be preheated for 5 minutes on high
setting.
3. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up
over the orifices.
4. Cold and windy weather will require you to move the grill
away from the wind.
5. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder valve is open and
that the cylinder has fuel.
Problem: Grill too hot.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Excessive flareups which require the maintenance described
in the section titled “IN CASE OF GREASE FIRE”.
2. A damaged orifice or regulator which requires replacement
with factory authorized parts.

emptying the grease tray.
4. Choose a lower cooking temperature if using excessively
high settings.
Problem: Fire at any connection.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
IMMEDIATELY shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.
1. Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten connections
with an adjustable wrench and replace damaged parts.
Perform a leak test on all connections before cooking on the
grill again.
