Crossover Ignition System Operations

If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System.

Check that both the white and black ignition wires are attached properly. Figure 19.

Check that the Crossover Ignition button pushes the igniter (button) down, and returns to the up position.

Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame. Tighten if necessary; see Step “Install igniter” for correct procedure.

If the Crossover Ignition System still fails to light, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.

FlameCheck Safety System

The correct positioning of the thermocouple probe is shown in Figure 20. The tip of the probe is positioned in the flame. The probe senses the heat from the Front burner, and activates the FlameCheck valve. The valve allows the gas to flow into the Front burner. If the Front burner should go out for any reason, the thermocouple probe will cool off, thereby closing the FlameCheck valve, which stops the gas flow to the burners.

If the FlameCheck Safety System should fail to operate, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
