Problem: Yellow Flame
Solution:
Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some
yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden or yellow in
color, the reason could be seasoning salts, oil film, or other foreign matter on the burner.
Problem: Plugged Orifice
Solution:
Unplug the orifice as follows:
• Remove cooking grills, flame tamer and grease tray.
• Remove burners from the bottom of the firebox by pulling the locking pin from beneath the
burner peg using a standard screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
• Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas orifice.
• Remove the orifice from the control valve.
• Gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire.
• Reinstall the orifice, reinstall the burners over the orifices, and seat each burner peg into
position hole at the bottom ledge of the firebox.
• Replace cooking components and grease collectors.
If an obstruction is suspected in the control valve, contact your local Cal Flame dealer for
assistance.
Problem: Misalignment of Igniter on Burner
Solution:
• Check for proper position of the electrode tip, which should be pointing forward towards the
front of the burner and free of grease to allow proper sparking.
• The ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve ignition device and electrode.
Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.
• With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off position, check each position
igniter individually for the presence of a spark at the electrode. Push each knob in fully and
rotate it about 1/4 turn to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a loud click. The trigger
hitting the strike block should produce a blue spark at the electrode tip. Return control knob
to the off position before checking the next igniter.
• While the grill is still hot, wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing re-ignition.
(This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear.) If all checks / corrections have been made and
the gas grill still fails to operate properly, contact your local Cal Flame dealer.
Problem: Flashback
Solution:
When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn
the control knobs clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the grill has cooled off and then clean
the burner tubes and burners as described on page 24 of this manual.
