TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When I light the grill, it does
not flame immediately.
-- Make sure you have turned on the gas.
-- Make sure it has a spark while you are trying to ignite the burner.
-- Push in control knob and turn to ignite/preheat and hold for approximately 5 seconds
and then ignite the grill.
-- Make sure your burner is clean.
Regulator makes noise.
-- Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty.
-- Make sure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole, close the
LP cylinder and gas control valves. Wait 10 minutes and re-start.
-- When turning the LP cylinder valve on, do not cover vent hole on the regulator.
-- Check your flames for proper performance. Replace regulator if the flames are not
correct.
-- Purge The lines.
Grill only heats to 200-300
degrees.
-- Ensure the temperature gauge is functioning properly. Hold a flame to the probe or
compare the grill gauge to an oven thermometer placed in the grill.
-- Ensure correct start procedure. Prior to lighting grill, the gas control knobs should be
off. The propane bottle should be turned off. If not, wait 15 minutes. Turn cylinder all
the way on. Turn left burner to ignite, wait 5 seconds ignite. Repeat for additional
burners.
-- Check all gas connections for leaks with bubble test. If leaks are found, replace the
part or tighten the fitting.
Grill takes a long time to
preheat.
-- Normal preheat 500-600 degrees, takes about 10-15 min. Cold weather and wind
may effect your preheat time. Volcanic rock and Briquettes should not be used in
this BBQ.
Burner flames are not light
blue.
-- Too much or not enough air mixes for the flame.
-- Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the mixture.
-- Grill is in a windy location.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill
and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging
the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or
immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following
checklist before contacting your dealer for service. You
may save the cost of a service call.
