Troubleshooting

Problem: Smell of gas is present

Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a leak test following the procedure described in this man- ual.

Problem: Burner does not ignite

Solution: Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be point- ing forward towards the front of the burner.

•Make sure there is a blue spark at the electrode tip to the burner.

•Make sure the igniter wire is connected firmly to the valve ignition device and the electrode.

•Make sure the valve orifice is free of any debris, dust or grease.

•If there is no spark at all, replace the electrode or igniter wire.

Note: Turn off the gas at the source while troubleshoot- ing.

Problem: Obstruction in the gas line

Solution: Remove the fuel line from side burner. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity of an open flame.) Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the gas valve and reconnect the fuel line securely.

Problem: Yellow Flame

Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the flame is golden or yellow in color, the reason could be oil film, residue from boil over, or other foreign mat- ter on the burner.
