PROBLEM
Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas.
Symptoms:

Barbecue temperature only reaches 250° to 300° in the HI position.
Burner does not light, or flame is low in HI position.
Burner does not ignite when you push the igniter button.
CHECK
Inspect Spider/Insect screens for possible obstructions. (Blockage of holes.)

Is there a fresh battery installed?
SOLUTION
Clean Spider/Insect screens. Refer to “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE”.
