The normal flow of gas through the

perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming sound is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the Regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
call the Grill Information Center.
