Emergencies

Problem

Gas leaking from

cracked/cut/burned

hose.

Gas leaking from LP

tank.

Gas leaking from LP

tank valve.

Gas leaking between

LP tank and regulator

connection.

Fire coming through

control panel.

Grease fire or

continuous excessive

flames above cooking

surface.

Burner(s) will not light

using ignitor.

Continued on next

page.

Possible Cause

• Damaged hose.

• Mechanical failure due to rusting or

mishandling.

• Failure of tank valve from mishandling or

mechanical failure.

• Improper installation, connection not

tight, failure of rubber seal.

• Fire in burner tube section of burner due

to blockage.

• Too much grease buildup in burner area.

GAS ISSUES:

• Trying to light wrong burner.

• Burner not engaged with control valve.

• Obstruction in burner.

• No gas flow.

• Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP tank.

• Coupling nut and LP tank valve not fully

connected.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:

• Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at

crack.”

• Electrode tip not in proper position.

• Wire and/or electrode covered with

cooking residue.

• Wires are loose or disconnected.

• Wires are shorting (sparking) between

ignitor and electrode.

Prevention/Solution

• Turn off gas at LP tank or at source on natural gas systems. If

anything but burned, replace valve/hose/regulator. If burned,

discontinue use of product until a plumber has investigated cause

and corrections are made.

• Replace LP tank.

• Turn off LP tank valve. Return LP tank to gas supplier.

• Turn off LP tank valve. Remove regulator from tank and visually

inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP tank Leak Test and

Connecting Regulator to the LP tank.

• Turn off control knobs and LP tank valve. Leave lid open to allow

flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove burner

and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard and

Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.

• Turn off control knobs and LP tank valve. Leave lid open to allow

flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and excess

grease from inside firebox area, grease cup, and other surfaces.

• See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.

• Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.

• Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other

matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.

• Make sure LP tank is not empty. If LP tank is not empty, refer to

“Sudden drop in gas flow.”

• Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP tank.

Reconnect and retry.

• Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters

additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use

tools.

• Replace electrode(s).

Main Burners:

• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on

burner. The distance should be 1/8” to 1/4”. Adjust if necessary.

Sideburner (if featured):

• Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on

burner. the distance should be 1/8” to 3/16”. Adjust if necessary.

• Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.

• Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.

• Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
