surface
• Trying to light wrong burner.
• Burner not engaged with control
valve.
• Obstruction in burner.
• No gas flow.
• Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP
cylinder.
• Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not
fully connected.
• Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks
at crack.
• Electrode tip not in proper position.
• Wire and/or electrode covered with
cooking residue.
• Wires are loose or disconnected.
• Wires are shorting (sparking)
between igniter and electrode.
• Dead battery.
GAS ISSUES:
• See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.
• Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.
• Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or
other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.
• Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.”
• Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder.
Reconnect and retry.
• Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use
tools.
• Replace electrode(s).
Main Burners:
• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening
on burner. The distance should be 1/8” to 1/4”. Adjust if
necessary.
• Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean
swab.
• Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.
• Replace igniter wire/electrode assembly.
• Replace with a new AA-size alkaline battery.

EMERGENCIES: If a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.
• Damaged hose.
• Mechanical failure due to rusting or
mishandling.
• Failure of cylinder valve from
mishandling or mechanical failure.
• Improper installation, connection not
tight, failure of rubber seal.
• Fire in burner tube section of burner
due to blockage.
• Too much grease buildup in burner
area.
•Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems.
If the hose is cracked or cut but not burned, simply replace
valve / hose / regulator. If the hose is burned, the cause could
be other than a faulty valve/hose/regulator. Discontinue use of
grill until a plumber or gas technician has investigated and
corrected the problem.
• Replace LP cylinder.
• Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
•Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and
visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP Cylinder Leak
Test and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
•Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold,
remove burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Spider
Alert and Cleaning the Burner Assembly sections of this Use &
Care Guide.
• Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles
and excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray, and
other surfaces.
