TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR GRILL... continued
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may
not be functioning correctly. Contact Lynx Customer Care.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are
getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the
burner and check it for blockages. (See INDEX: “Clean the
Burner” for further details.)
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING,
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF
THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
• Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further
details.)
• Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Clean the Burner” for
further details.)
YELLOW FLAMES
Under normal conditions the flames should be blue with
slight yellow tips. (See page 30). A yellow flame on the
main burners indicates a lack of air. But, if the air around
the grill is dusty or if heavy grease is present, some orange
tips on the burner flame are normal.
Adjust the Air Shutter
To adjust for insufficient air, adjust the air shutter. (See
INDEX: “Air Shutter Adjustment” for further details.)
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
NO PART OF THE GRILL SHOULD EVER BE LINED WITH
ALUMINUM FOIL. Doing so will interfere with airflow and
can cause a low heat condition.
Ensure that you’ve preheated the grill with all main burners
on for at least 10 – 15 minutes with the hood closed.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is
out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
ficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be
used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
• Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
• Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
• Replace any damaged supply lines.
• Check the regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one
designed for and supplied with your grill and that it is
correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using.
(See INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided by the manufacturer must
be used if your grill is set-up for an LP Gas Cylinder.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to
the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regula-
tor contains a flexible diaphragm and should not be al-
lowed to touch the grill body or its surroundings.
• Check for Obstructions
Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free
from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units:
• Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost-empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure
to run the burners at high heat.
• Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
• Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinders flow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the flow control:
– Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder.
– Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder valve.
– Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
• Bulk LP Cylinder Users
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator sup-
plied by the manufacturer and converted to LP gas. Also
ensure that you do not have more than one regulator in line.
Natural Gas units:
• Supply Line
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter
or 1” outside diameter.
• Check line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5” W.C. and
manifold pressure not less that 4” W.C. under full load
(with all burners on.)
• Check burners for blockages
• Check flame characteristics. (See INDEX: “Flame, Correct
Size” )
• Clean or adjust air shutter (See INDEX: “Air Shutter
Adjustment.”
