Gas leaking from
cracked/cut/burned
hose.
Gas leaking between
gas inlet pipe and
quick disconnect
socket.
Fire coming through
control panel.
Grease fire or
continuous excessive
flames above cooking
surface.
• Damaged hose.
• Improper installation, connection not
tight, failure of pipe joint compound or
teflon tape.
• Fire in burner tube section of burner
due to blockage.
• Too much grease buildup in burner
area.
• Turn off gas at source on natural gas systems. If the hose is
cracked or cut but not burned, simply replace the hose with an
approved replacement from the manufacture. If the hose is
burned, the cause could be other than a faulty hose. Discontinue
use of grill until a plumber or gas technician has investigated
and corrected the problem.
• Turn off Natural Gas at source. Remove quick disconnect socket
and visually inspect for damage. Re-apply pipe joint compound
or approved teflon tape.
• Turn off control knobs and Natural Gas at source. 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 source. 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.
Burner(s) will not light
