VIII IGNITOR AND BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
IGNITOR/ELECTRODE ADJUSTMENT
The electrode inside the fire box is fixed and checked at the factory for optimum spark. The tip
is 1/8” from the inside surface of the burner tube. In the event that the ceramic insulator
should crack and need replacement, it is easily removed by loosening the mounting screw.
If burner will not light, slide the lava rock at the control panel end to one side and visually
inspect the spark produced when the red ignitor button is depressed. Adjust the probe as
necessary for best spark. Distance between probe end and the burner should be set at 1/8”.
CAUTION:
Both LP tank and control knobs must be at 'OFF' position when testing and
adjusting the electrode spark.
VALVE CONNECTION
At the end of each valve there is a tiny gas opening known as an orifice. Gas exits the orifice
and enters an air mixer where it mixes with air. The proper mixture of gas and air produces a
clean blue flame with slight yellow tips at the burner. The valve flange should be flat against
the air mixer as pictured below. Failure to insure this connection may cause fire and result in
serious damage to your grill.
