Electrode Check - Requires an Assistant

Before placing the cooking components into your grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly positioned within each Gas Collector Box ( a 4" wide stainless mechanism found at the front be- tween each set of Burners.) The easiest way to ensure this is to perform this Electrode Check:

1.Be sure all Control Knobs are set to "OFF" and open the Grill Lid.

2.Have an assistant stand behind to the right of the grill and look down at each Gas Collector Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.

. Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a "clicking" sound and your assistant should see a small blue spark within each Gas Collector Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips are properly positioned.

4.If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in Figure 4 needs to be adjusted as follows:

Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the inside Nut just until the Gas Collector Box can be maneuvered and turned upward.

The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".

If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector Box until the gap is correct.

Return the Gas Collector Box to its original hori- zontal position, secure the inside Nut and try the Electrode Check again.

5.If no "clicking" sound is heard check the following

common causes. If you need assistance call our Grill Information Center

at 1-888-317-7642.

•IgnitorAA battery not installed properly.

•Electric wires may be loose. Remove the AA battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the Control Panel, and connect any loose wires.
