Question:
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the
heating and performance of your gas grill so factor
in these elements wh en p ositio ning you r grill
outdoors for cooking.
In
windy conditions
, always position the front of grill
to face oncoming wind to reduce heat and smoke
blowing in your face and prevent potential hazards
to yourself and the 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 or
wood siding, fences and overhangs) or sources of
ignition including pilot lights on water heaters and

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
eliminate air pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure
sho uld be d on e every time a n ew L P Gas tank is
connected to your grill.
Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG models.
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.
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:

If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs replacing,
you can light your grill using the Manual Lighting Stick.
The Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and
allows you to safely insert a match through the Cooking
Grid without getting close to the Burner. To light your gas
grill manually, insert a paper match into the Manual
Lighting Stick and follow steps 1 through 5 of the Basic
Lighting Procedures. Then, light the match and place the
Lighting Stick through the Cooking Grid. Turn the nearest
main Burner Control Knob to the setting to release gas.
The Burner should light immediately.
