TROUBLESHOOTING
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this
or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the
valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making
it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year
or immediately after any of the following conditions
occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the
following checklist before contacting your dealer for
service. You may save the cost of a service call.
