Troubleshooting Procedures

Problem:

Misalignment of Ignitor on Burner

 

 

Solution:

Check for proper position of electrode tip. The tip of the electrode should be pointing forward

 

towards the front of the burner and should be free of grease to allow proper sparking. The

 

ignition wire should be connected firmly to the valve ignition device and electrode. Replace the

 

ignition wire if it is frayed or cracked. With gas supply closed and all control knobs set to the off

 

position, check each position ignitor individually for presence of spark at electrode. In turn, push

 

each knob in fully and rotate about 1/4 turn to the left (counter-clockwise) until you hear a loud

 

click. The trigger hitting the strike block should produce a blue spark at the electrode tip. Return

 

control knob to the off position before checking the next ignitor.

 

 

 

While the grill is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing

 

re-ignition (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear). If all checks/ corrections have been made

 

and gas grill fails to operate properly, contact your local Cal Flame dealer.

Problem:

Yellow Flame

 

 

Solution:

Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure that flame color 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 seasoning salts, oil film, or other

 

foreign matter on the burner.

 

 

Problem:

Flashback

 

 

Solution:

When fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn

 

the control knob(s) clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait until the grill has cooled off and then

 

clean the burner tubes and burners as described on page of this manual.
