TROUBLESHOOTING
insufficient heat. Note that as the appliance
interior becomes dusty or greasy, a yellow
tip may appear at the tip of a blue flame.
This is normal. The full yellow flame can be
adjusted by opening up the air shutters
found on the front intake (venturi) of the
Big 60 burner. Please follow the burner
removal instructions found in the section
of this manual entitled ‘CLEANING YOUR
GRILL’ and under the heading ‘REMOVING
THE BURNER’. With the burner in your
hand, face the venturis and air shutters
toward you. The air shutters have been
factory tested and set so the air shutter is
opened HALF way.
2. Loosen the screw found on the bottom of
the air shutter. The shutter can now be
rotated in either direction to reach the
desired opening. Rotate the shutter slightly
to close the opening that is seen through
the side of the air shutter. Repeat for all
burner rings that appeared to have had
yellow flames. Re-tighten all screws.
3. Reinsert the burner and test. If the
flames are BLUE but are noisy (like a torch)
and appear to ‘lift’ off the burner, then
repeat the process. Allow the burner to cool
and modify the adjustment by rotating the
shutter BACK slightly (closing up the air
shutter opening), until the flames are blue,
stable, and quiet.
IF YOU SMELL OF GAS
1. If you smell gas while the appliance is lit,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND
SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
2. Perform a leak test per the instructions
under the ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of
this manual entitled ‘LEAK TEST
PROCEEDURE’. If no leaks are found, check
for blockages in the burner inlets (venturis).
Refer to the section of this manual entitled
‘CLEANING THE BURNERS’. If you are
uncomfortable with performing these tests
yourself, then call your local gas company.
APPLIANCE DOES NOT LIGHT AFTER A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME
Insects are attracted to the smell of gas.
Check the burner(s) and valve orifices to be
sure they are clear of any spider webs or
nests. The burner(s) should be cleaned
periodically for optimum performance.
VALVE DOES NOT TURN FREELY
Never attempt to lubricate valves. They are
sealed and lubricated at the time of
manufacture. They do not require further
maintenance. If your valves are hard to
turn, then they need to be replaced. Refer
to the parts lists at the end of this manual
or contact your dealer where the grill was
purchased
.
