Continued on next page.

Possible Cause

GAS ISSUES:

Trying to light wrong burner.

Burner not engaged with control valve.

Obstruction in burner.

No gas flow.

Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder.

Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:

Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at crack.”

Electrode tip not in proper position.

Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.

Wires are loose or disconnected.

Wires are shorting (sparking) between ignitor and electrode.

Prevention/Solution

See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.

Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.

Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.

Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty, refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.”

Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Reconnect and retry.

Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

Replace electrode(s).

Main Burners:

• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. The distance should be 1/8” to 1/4”. Adjust if necessary.

Sideburner:

Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. the distance should be 1/8” to 3/16”. Adjust if necessary.

Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.

Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.

Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.

• Dead battery.

• Replace with a new AA-size alkaline battery.
