TROUBLE-SHOOTING

If your Superb gas grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before contacting your dealer for service.

You may save the cost of a service call.

1.Grill won't light when the rotary ignitor is turned.

a.With the gas tuned off, remove the grill plates, ceramic plaques and plaque rack. Turn the ignitor knob clockwise to check the spark. You should see a spark jump from tip of the ignitor. If there is a spark, check the gas supply. Is the tank full? Is the line purged of air? Can you light the burner with a match?

b.Check air shutter adjustment, close as needed.

c.Do other burners light?

d.Check the orifice for blockage.

e.Is the ignitor tip clean and free from debris?

f.Clean ignitor tip.

2.Burner flame is yellow or orange and there is a smell of gas.

a.Check the burner inlet for obstructions.

b.Check the air shutter for proper adjustment.

c.Check for spiders, spider webs and debris.

3.Low heat with control knob set on "HI."

a.Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?

b.Is there an adequate gas supply?

c.If there is only one burner that appears low, does the orifice or burner need cleaning?

d.Is the air shutter too far open or closed?

e.Is the gas supply, or gas pressure low?

f.Has the grill been preheated for at least 10 minutes?

4.The smell of gas with flames appearing yellow or the gas grill does not reach temperature and heats unevenly.

a.Check for spiders or insects.

b.Spiders and insects can nest in the burner of this or any grill, and cause a disruption in the flow of gas from the burner. This is dangerous and can cause a fire behind the valve cover, damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

You should inspect the burners periodically or immedi- ately if any of these conditions occur or persist.

5.The burners make popping noises.

a.Check air shutter adjustment.
