Moving and Storage

CAUTION

A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.

Moving the grill:

Move the grill slowly. DO NOT run with or pull the grill behind you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.

DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on the cooking surface(s) or side table(s).

After moving the grill:

Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the movement.

Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over the orifices.

Steps to follow before storing grill:

Clean the grill.

Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.

For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach and leave the cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, turn off the fuel supply to the L.P. cylinder and cover the grill for protection from the weather. Grill covers may be purchased from a grill dealer or manufacturer.

WARNING

If the grill is not in use, the gas MUST be turned off at the fuel supply cylinder.

Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not is use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve.

Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Grill will not light when the Igniter button is pushed or has incomplete burner flame.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1.Dead Battery. Install a fresh 9 volt battery in the electrode module.

2.Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder valve is open and the cylinder has fuel.

3.Make sure one of the burners is turned on. Allow up to five seconds for gas flow to ignite.

4.If burner lights with match but not Igniter, check the ceramic electrode position near the burner, the condition of the Igniter wire and its connections. Perform Igniter test and replace any damaged parts.

5.Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.

6.Misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position venturi over orifices.

7.Burner ports, orifices, valves or hose have blockage. Clean the components.

8.Crimped fuel supply hose needs straightened.

9.Regulator failure or damaged hose need to be replaced by an authorized service dealer.

10.Make sure the hose to the cylinder is properly assembled. See the section titled “Connecting Type 1 L.P. Gas Cylinders”.

Problem: Yellow flame.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1.Check for spider webs or insect nest in the venturi and clean the venturi.

2.New burner may have residual oil which will burn off.

3.Clean off any food residue, grease or seasoning salts on the burner.

4.Air may be in the cylinder if the cylinder was not properly purged. Use up remaining gas; the yellow flame may disappear with use.

5.The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over the orifice.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem: Flame blows out on low setting or has uneven heat distribution.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1.Check for spider webs or insect nests in the venturi and clean the venturi.

2.Cold grill needs to be preheated for 5 minutes on high setting.

3.The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over the orifices.

4.Cold and windy weather will require you to move the grill away from the wind.

5.Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder valve is open and that the cylinder has fuel.

Problem: Fire at any connection.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

IMMEDIATELY shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.

1.Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten connections with an adjustable wrench and replace damaged parts. Perform a leak test on all connections before cooking on the grill again.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

IMMEDIATELY shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.

1.Check for spider webs or insect nest in the venturi and clean the venturi.
