Replacing
arotary igniter
Before replacing an igniter, perform this simple test.
1.Remove the drip tray (on some models).
2.From underneath the valve panel, look upwards and locate the end of the igniter wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the
wire and place the metal blade of a screwdriver about 1/8″ from the terminal of the rotary igniter.
3.Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good, a spark will jump across to the screwdriver. If there is no spark, replace the igniter.
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine the electrode for grease and debris or see if the electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the top of the electrode bracket?
The rotary igniter may be replaced from the front by removing the drip pan (on some models) and reaching behind the valve panel to unplug the igniter wire. Remove the igniter knob and the two mounting screws. (Reverse the procedure to replace.) If removing the valve panel is necessary, begin by removing all the control knobs, then remove the 4 corner screws of the valve panel.
Spider and insect warning
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance. The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can 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, damaging the cooking center and making it unsafe for use.
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1.The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2.The grill or
3.The grill or
4.The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exists, clean the burners immediately.

To remove the grill burner(s), first remove the grill rack(s). Then, depending on your model, lift out the Gourmet Radiant™ Trays or the stainless steel radiant trays with lava rocks or ceramic briquette still on them. Remove wire shipping ties if present. Pull the burner up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front. Angle the burner sideways and remove.(24″ models have two grill burners.)
