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 3-1/4" wide stainless mechanism found at the front between each set of burners.) The easiest way to ensure this is to perform the following Electrode Check:

1.Be sure all Control Knobs are set to OFF. Open the Grill Lid.

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

. Press the Ignitor Cap and have the assistant watch for 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 Fig. 13 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 the Spark Receiver should be approxi- mately 3/16".

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

•Return the Gas Collector Box to its original horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try the Electrode Check again.
