Problem Possible Cause
Prevention/Solution
Sudden drop in gas
flow or low flame.
• Out of gas.
• Excess ow valve tripped.
• Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP
cylinder connection.
• Check for gas in LP cylinder.
•Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If ames are still low, turn off
knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and
leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill.
•Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder.
Reconnect and retry.
Flames blow out
• High or gusting winds.
• Low on LP gas.
• Excess ow valve tripped.
• Turn front of grill to face wind or increase ame height.
• Rell LP cylinder.
• Refer to “Sudden drop in gas ow” above.
Flare-up.
• Drip buildup.
• Excessive fat in meat.
• Excessive cooking temperature.
• Clean burners and inside of grill/rebox.
• Trim fat from meat before grilling.
• Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.
Persistent drip fire
Drip trapped by food buildup
around burner system.
Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Leave lid in position and let fire burn
out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
Flashback…
(fire in burner tube(s)).
Burner and/or burner tubes are
blocked.
Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning section
of Use and Care.
Unable to fill LP
cylinder.
Some dealers have older fill
nozzles with worn threads.
The worn nozzles don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve.
Try a second LP dealer.
One burner does no
light from other
burner(s).
Drip buildup or food particles in
end(s) of carryover tube(s).
Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.
Problem Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Check Item
SECTION I
No sparks appear at any
electrodes when control
knob turned to HI:
no noise can be heard
from spark module.
• Battery not installed properly.
• Dead battery.
• Button assembly not installed
properly.
• Faulty spark module.
• Check battery orientation.
• Has battery been used
previously?
• Check to insure threads are
properly engaged. Button
should travel up and down
without binding.
• If no sparks are generated
with new battery and good
wire connections, module is
faulty.
• Install battery (make sure that “+” and “-”
connectors are oriented correctly, with “+” end
up and “-” end down.)
• Replace battery with new AAAsize alkaline
battery.
• Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall,
making sure threads are aligned and engaged
fully.
• Replace spark module assembly.
SECTION II
No sparks appear at any
electrodes when control
knob turned to HI; noise
can be heard from spark
module.
Output lead connections not
connected.
Are output connections on and
tight?
Remove and reconnect all output connections
at module and electrodes.
SECTION III
Sparks are present but not
at all electrodes and/or
not at full strength
• Output lead connections not
connected.
• Electrical arc between output
wires and grill frame.
• Weak battery.
• Electrodes are wet.
• Electrode(s) cracked or broken;
sparks appear where cracked.
• Are output connections on
and tight?
• If possible, observe grill in dark
location. Operate ignition
system and look for arcing
between output wires and
grill frame.
• All sparks present but weak or
at slow rate.
• Has moisture accumulated on
electrode and/or in burner
ports?
• Inspect electrodes for cracks.
• Remove and reconnect all output connections
at module and electrodes.
• If sparks are observed other than from
burner(s), wire insulation may be damaged.
Replace wires.
• Replace battery with a new AAAs ize alkaline
battery.
• Use paper towel to remove moisture.
• Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
