TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause Prevention/Cure

Burner doesn't light using knobs

or igniter

Wires or electrode was covered

by cooking residue

Clean wire or electrode by

rubbing alcohol

Electrode and burners are wet wipe by textile

Electrode cracked or broken -

sparks at crack

Replace electrode

- 16 -

Burner doesn't light using a

match

No gas flow Check if propane tank is empty. If

not, refer to Excessive flow

safety valve reset procedure

Coupling nut and regulator are

not fully connected

Turn off coupling nut about

one-half to three quarters

additional turn until solid stop.

Tighten by hand ONLY - DO

NOT use tools

Blockage of gas flow Check burner tube and hose

Disconnection of burner and

valve

Reconnect

Spider webs or insect nest in

venturi

Clean venturi

Burner ports clogged or blocked Clean burner ports

Sudden drop in gas flow or

reduced flame height

Out of gas Replace cylinder

Irregular flame pattern, flame

does not run the full length of

burner

Burner ports are clogged or

blocked.

Clean burner ports

Flames turn yellow or orange New burner may have residual

manufacturing oils

Burn your grill for 15 minutes with

the lid closed

Spider webs or insect nest in

venturi

Clean venturi

Food residue, grease or

seasoning salt on burner

Clean burner

Poor connection of valve to

burner venturi

Assure burner venturi is properly

connected with valve

Flame blow out High or gusting winds Turn front of grill to face wind or

increase flame height

Low on propane gas Replace cylinder

- 17 -

Excess flow valve tripped Refer to Excessive flow safety

valve reset procedure

Flare-up Grease fill-up Clean grill

Excessive fat in meat Trim fat from meat before grilling

Excessive cooking temperature Adjust (lower) temperature

Persistent grease fire Grease trapped by food was

filled up to burner system

Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas

OFF at propane tank. Leave lid in

closed position and let fire burn

out. After grill cools, remove and

clean all parts

Flashback(fire in burner tubes) Burners or tubes are block Clean burners or tubes

Inside lid peeling or paint peeling The lid is stainless Baked on grease fill-up has

turned to carbon and flaking off.

Clean thoroughly

Irregular flame Air flow is not correct. Correct

Flame blue with yellow tips, 1-2”

high.

Too little air: wavy yellow or

orange flames.

Too much air: noisy blue flames

If flames are yellow or orange –

open flap at the end of the venturi

tubes in 1/8” increments until

flames are correct.

If flames are blue and noisy –

close flap at the end of the

venturi tubes in 1/8” increments

until flames are correct.

*Propane Models must be open a

minimum of 1/8”
