TROUBLESHOOTING
information can be found on the right rear
of the appliance. If the gas type has been
converted (either at installation or at the
place of purchase) then check for the
following:
The Natural Gas (NG) unit has been
equipped with a gas regulator installed at
the rear. If this appliance has been
converted to Liquid Propane (LP), then
ensure that the original NG regulator has
been removed from the rear of the grill
before the LP hose connection was added.
Never use more than one gas regulator to
control gas flow. This will substantially
REDUCE cooking efficiency.
5. If a low heat condition still persists, check
that the gas line (for NG applications) is of
adequate size for the length of run for all of
the equipment being used. The minimum
size is 1/2"(I.D.), but the larger 3/4"(I.D.)
size is recommended for optimum
performance. See section entitled
‘NATURAL GAS’ under the ‘GAS
CONNECTIONS’ portion of this manual.
6. If the gas used is Liquid Propane (LP),
check that the gas hose is not being
‘crimped’ and is connected to the tank
properly. The hose and regulator assembly
MUST be the hose that has been supplied
with your LazyMan appliance.
7. Low or insufficient heat can also be
caused by burner obstructions. Follow the
burner removal instructions found in the
section entitled ‘CLEANING THE BURNERS’.
With the burners out of the grill, look inside
each burner for obstructions that may
interrupt gas flow. Follow the remainder of
that section.
8. Windy conditions can greatly interrupt air
flow and cause insufficient heat conditions.
If heavy winds are prevailing and are
coming from any direction, it is better to
turn DOWN the heat on the burner.
Cooking may take a little longer, but the
smaller flames will not be as disrupted from
the wind as the larger flames.
YELLOW BURNER FLAMES
1. A yellow flame from the burners
indicates a lack of air entering the burner.
This can also contribute to low or
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 shutter
found on the front intake (venturi) of the
burner. Please follow the burner removal
instructions found in the section of this
manual entitled ‘CLEANING THE BURNERS’.
With the burner in your hand, face the
venturi and air shutter toward you. The air
shutter has been factory tested and set so
the air shutter is opened HALF way.
2. Loosen the screw found on the side of
the air shutter. The shutter can now be slid
forward or backward to reach the desired
opening. Slide the shutter BACK to fully
open the air opening, as shown in the above
diagram, and use this as starting point.
Retighten the screw.
