EMERGENCIES: If a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.
Gas leaking from cracked/cut/burned hose
Gas leaking from LP cylinder
Gas leaking from LP cylinder valve
•Damaged hose
•Mechanical failure due to rusting or mishandling
•Failure of cylinder valve from mishandling or mechanical failure
• Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems | ||
If the hose is cracked or cut but not burned, simply replace | ||
valve / hose / regulator If the hose is burned, the cause could | ||
be other than a faulty valve/hose/regulator | Discontinue use of | |
grill until a plumber or gas technician has investigated and | ||
corrected | the problem |
|
• Replace | LPcylinder |
|
• Turn off LPcylinder valve Return LP cylinder to gas supplier | ||
• Turn off LP cylinder valve Remove regulator from cylinder and | ||
visually inspect rubber seat for damage See LPCylinder Leak | ||

GAS ISSUES:
•Trying to light wrong burner.
•Burner not engaged with control valve
•Obstruction in burner
•No gas ftow
•Vapor tock 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
•Dead battery
•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 LPcylinder is not empty If LPcylinder 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 threequarters
additional turn until solid stop Tighten by hand onty 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
