Problem Yellow Flame, Problem Flashback

Problem: Yellow Flame

Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden or yellow in color, the reason could be seasoning salts, oil film, or other foreign matter on the burner.

Problem: Misalignment of Igniter on Burner

Solution: • Check for proper position of the electrode tip, which should be pointing forward towards the front of the burner and free of grease to allow proper sparking.

•The ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve ignition device and electrode. Replace the ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked.

•With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off position, check each position igniter individually for the presence of a spark at the electrode. Push each knob in fully and rotate it about 1/4 turn to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a loud click. The trigger hitting the strike block should produce a blue spark at the electrode tip. Return control knob to the off position before checking the next igniter.

•While the grill is still hot, wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing re-ignition. (This allows accumulated gas fumes to clear.) If all checks / corrections have been made and the gas grill still fails to operate properly, contact your local Cal Flame dealer.

Problem: Flashback

Solution: When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the control knobs clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the grill has cooled off and then clean the burner tubes and burners as described on page of this manual.
