Troubleshooting

If the grill fails to light:

1, Turn gas off at source and turn control knobs to "OFF". Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, and then retry

2, If your grill still fails to light, check the gas

supply and connections. Ensure gas supply

is turned on (turn counterclockwise), there is gas in the tank, and the regulator is properly seated in the tank valve.

3.Repeat lighting procedure. If your grill still fails to light, turn the gas off at the source, turn the control knobs to "OFF", and check the following:

[] Obstruction in Gas Line

Correction: Detach regulator hose assembly. Do not smoke! Open all control knobs at the same time to "High". Close all burner control knobs to "OFF" and reattach the regulator hose assembly to the grill.

[] Plugged Orifice or Burner Tube Obstruction

Correction; Remove burners from grill and

clean following the burner cleaning instructions later in this manual. Observe valve orifice to be

sure there is no obstruction visible.

[] If an obstruction is suspected in Gas Valve or Manifold, call the Customer Support Center.

[] Misalignment of Igniter and Burner

Correction: Check for proper position of the electrode tip. The gap between the electrode tip

and burner should be approximately 3/16 of an inch. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply off and all control knobs set to "OFF" press the electric igniter button and check for the presence of a spark at the electrode.

[] Disconnected Electric Wires

Correction: Inspect the electric igniter (see Parts List) found behind the control panel.

Connect loose electric wires to ignition assembly.
