PROBLEM | POTENTIAL CAUSE |
| ACTION REQUIRED | |
|
|
|
| |
Uneven burn pattern | Blockage in the burner or gas | Confirm that the venturi tubes are not blocked by insects or | ||
or | system | other debris. Use a special venturi brush to clean (Fig. 15). | ||
Flashback fire | ||||
| Use a pin or needle to probe the orifice in the gas valve. | |||
|
| |||
|
| Never enlarge the orifice (Fig. 17). | ||
|
| Use a small nail or toothpick to clean the burner ports | ||
|
| (Fig. 17). | ||
| Corroded burner | Corrosion of a gas burner can cause the solid material | ||
| between the gas ports to deteriorate, resulting in uneven | |||
|
| |||
|
| burning. See your retailer for the appropriate replacement | ||
|
| burner. | ||
|
|
|
| |
Excessive yellow | Improper air shutter opening | Your Grill should burn with a predominantly blue flame. | ||
flame |
| If the flame is mostly yellow, check the venturi tubes for | ||
|
| obstruction and clean as shown on Page 19. If yellow flames | ||
|
| still persist, adjust the opening on the air shutter of the | ||
|
| venturi tube located under the front console of the Grill | ||
|
| (Fig. 20). | ||
|
|
|
| |
Excessively fatty foods | Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking. | |||
| Grease buildup | Confirm that the sear plate is clean and properly installed. | ||
|
| Remove excess grease from the burn chamber. | ||
|
|
|
| |
Igniter does not spark | Electrode fouled | Wipe the electrode with a soft, clean cloth. | ||
| Electrode improperly gapped | The electrode should be located 1/8” to 3/16” from the | ||
|
| burner, and positioned to spark to the edge of a gas port. | ||
|
| If the gap is incorrect, or the unit is not properly | ||
|
| sparking, gently bend the electrode tip into position. Use | ||
|
| caution so that the ceramic insulator does not crack. | ||
| Electrode cracked | If the ceramic insulator on the electrode is cracked, it | ||
|
| may short out. Replace the electrode. | ||
| Lead wire is disconnected | Confirm that the lead from the Ignitor module to the | ||
|
| electrode is well seated on the termination of the | ||
|
| module. | ||
| Lead wire is cracked | A crack in the lead wire may result in shorting. Replace | ||
|
| the wire. | ||
| Battery dead or installed wrong | The battery in the Igniter Button may be dead or installed | ||
|
| incorrectly. Correct position is positive end down. | ||
