TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:	Possible Cause:	Solution:

Burner will not light using the ignitor

Burner is not connected to Valve.

Not pausing long enough before clicking the Ignitor

No spark

LP gas cylinder is empty LP Coupling nut is not fully connected to regulator

LP Excess flow valve tripped in regulator

Obstructions in burner Electrode and burner are wet Wire is loose or disconnected Wire is shorting (sparking between ignitor wire and electrode)

Make sure burner tube is over the gas nozzl e. See How to Clean the Burners #6 page 20: Re-install after cleaning.

When lighting the Burner, push-in and turn control panel knob counter-clockwise to the high position. Pause 4 seconds, then Push in Ignitor button several times so that it clicks each time. Gas collector tab is bent (making too large or small of a gap between electrode and tab). By hand, bend gas collector tab back within a maximum of 3/16” gap to electrode. (See page 16 for illustration).

Make sure gas Collector and Ignitor are tight.

Take LP gas cylinder to licensed LP gas supplier to be refilled Tighten coupling nut by hand about one-half to three quarters additional turn. Do not use tools.

Turn control knobs to “off” position and turn LP gas cylinder handle clockwise until it stops. Wait five minutes. Relight LP gas grill. If flame remains to be low, turn off gas at cylinder and grill. Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas cylinder. Reconnect the regulator to the LP gas cylinder. Perform a leak test. Relight grill. This will reset the excess flow valve.

See How to Clean the Burners page 20- Re-install after cleaning Dry electrode with clean cloth. Air dry or use blow dryer. Reconnect the wire
