EMERGENCIES: Jf a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.

Gas leaking from

cracked/cut/burned

hose.

Gas leaking from LP cylinder.

Gas leaking from LP cylinder valve.

Gas leaking between

LP cylinder and

regulator connection.

Fire coming through control panel.

Grease fire or

continuous excessive

flames above cooking

surface.

Damaged hose.

Mechanical failure due to rusting or mishandling.

Failure of cylinder valve from mishandling or mechanical failure.

Improper installation, connection not tight, failure of rubber seal.

Fire in burner tube section of burner due to blockage.

Too much grease buildup in burner area.

Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems. If the hose is cracked or cut but not burned, simply replace

valve!hose/regulator.

If the hose is

burned, the cause

could be

other than

a faulty

valve!hose!regulator.

Discontinue

use of

grill until a

plumber

or gas technician

has investigated

and

corrected

the problem.

 

 

Replace LP cylinder.

Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.

Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP Cylinder Leak Test and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.

Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Spider

Alert and Cleaning the Burner Assembly sections of this Use & Care Guide.

Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray, and other surfaces.

If

LP cylinder

is not

empty,

 

 

 

 

 

refer to _Sudden drop in gas flow."

 

 

 

 

Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder.

Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:

Electrode cracked or broken; _sparks at crack."

Electrode tip not in proper position.

Wire and!or electrode covered with cooking residue.

Wires are loose or disconnected.

Wires are shorting (sparking) between ignitor and electrode.

Dead battery.

Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Reconnect and retry.

Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters

additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

Replace electrode(s).

Main Burners:

Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on

burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary. Sideburner:

Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner, the distance should be 1/8" to 3/16". Adjust if necessary.
