TROUBLESHOOTING

Resolving IGNITER Performance Issues

If you are having difficulty with your BBQ’s Electronic Ignition a quick visual inspection of the following will help to identify the cause:

1.Check for un-plugged electrode wires or ground wire.

2.Check wires for damage including tears or breaks

3.Check electrode for cracks in the porcelain insulator

4.Replace battery. Ensure battery is installed correctly

5.Check battery igniter cap for proper threading

6.Check gap between electrode, gas collector box and burner

7.Check for damage to Electronic Igniter Box.

8.Check to ensure that the Electrode sparks when the igniter button is pressed.

PROBLEM	CAUSE	CORRECTIVE ACTION
Igniter does not spark –	Electrode Fouled	Wipe the electrode with a soft, clean
Burner lights with match but not with		cloth. If electrode has any build up
the igniter		of grease or corrosion, lightly sand elec-
		trode tip and clean with alcohol.
	Electrode or burner is wet	Wipe both parts dry before trying
		to re-light.
	Electrode Porcelain or ceramic	As the grounding surface of the burner
	insulator cracked	becomes coated with grease and
		residue, the porcelain insulator on the
		electrode can crack from the heat. If
		this occurs, the spark being transferred
		through the insulator will “bleed” from
		the crack (cracks collect moisture and
		reduce the spark), and ignition will oc-
		cur only after a build-up of gas or not
		at all. Replace electrode.
