the appropriate replacement burner.

 

 

 

Excessive yellow

Improper air shutter opening

Your Grill should burn with a predominantly blue

Electrode improperly gapped

The electrode should be located 1/8” to 3/16”

 

 

 

from the burner, and positioned to spark to the

 

 

edge of a gas port. If the gap is incorrect, or the

 

 

unit is not properly sparking, gently bend the

 

 

electrode tip into position. Use caution so that the

 

 

ceramic insulator does not crack.

 

Electrode cracked

If the ceramic insulator on the electrode is cracked,

 

 

it may short out. Replace the electrode.

 

Lead wire is disconnected

Confirm that the lead from the Ignitor module to

 

 

the electrode is well seated on the termination of

 

 

the module.

 

Lead wire is cracked

A crack in the lead wire may result in shorting.

 

 

Replace the wire.
