PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When attempting to light my grill, it
will not light immediately.
Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner (if no
spark) . Check if the battery is installed properly.
Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode assembly.
Clean wire (s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab.
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Check to see if the other burners operate. If so. Check the gas orifice on
the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.
Regulator makes noise.
Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty.
Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole,
close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and re-start.
Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct,
replace regulator.
Full size cover does not fit the grill.
Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit.
Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill.
Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the cover to your grill.
Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm sunlight or in a
warm room.
For grill with a side shelf bunch the cover like a sock, put on left to right.
Grill only heats to 200-300 degrees.
Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.
Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
Make sure the burner and orifices are clean.
Check for spiders and insects.
The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event
of a leak. This safety device can be triggered without a gas leak. To
reset the safety device, turn off all burners and close the LP tank valve.
Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank and wait one minute.
Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank and slowly open the LP tank valve
until the valve is fully open. Light all burners and observe the temperature.
Grill takes a long time to preheat.
Normal preheat 500-600 degrees, takes about 10-15 min. Cold weather
and wind may effect your preheat time.
If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes they can increase the preheat
time and maximum temperature.
Burner flames are not light blue.
Too much or not enough air for the flame.
Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the
mixture. Burner adjustment may be required.
Grill is in a windy location.
