ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATIONS
The igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode
assembly . Whether you are performing routine
maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the ignition
system, read the following to keep your ignition system
working properly .
m
WARNING: All gas controls and supply
valves should be in the OFF position.
If the igniter fails to ignite your Q grill, you will need to
pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas flow
or with the ignition system . Begin by attempting to match
light your burner . Refer to “BURNER IGNITION—Lighting
with a Match .” If match lighting is successful, the problem
lies in the ignition system .
MAINTAINING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION
SYSTEM
• Verify that the AAA battery (alkaline only) is in good
condition and is installed correctly (3) . Some batteries
have a plastic protective wrap around them . This
plastic must be removed before installing battery . Do
not confuse this plastic with the battery label .
• Make sure that both igniter wires are properly
attached to the igniter module . Black wire to black
terminal (4), white wire to white terminal (5) .
• Make sure the electronic igniter button is working by
listening for clicking and looking for sparks at burner .
If the electronic
ignition system still fails to ignite,
contact the Customer Service Representative in your
area using the contact information on our web site.
