Igniter Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic igniter
button. "Clicking" should be heard and spark seen each time
between collector box or burner and electrode. See

Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before
checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring
back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to
OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only
valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care
Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of drip and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.
Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners, turn
knobs from HI to LO. You should see a smaller flame in
LO position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check
on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden flame drop or low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.
