after cooking will keep the burner clean. The burner should be cleaned a\
nnually, or 
whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of b\
lockage (debris, 
insects) in the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of\
 the burner. (See 
BURNER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS below) CAUTION: Some of the metal edges may be sharp. be careful in handling.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ProblemPossible Cause Solution
Burner will not 
light using the 
igniter. • 
Burner not assembled 
correctly.
•  Not pausing long 
enough before clicking 
the Igniter.
•  No spark
•  LP gas cylinder is 
empty.
•  Regulator tube 
coupling nut is not fully 
connected to Venturi.
•  Excess flow valve 
tripped in Regulator.
•  Obstructions in burner 
or Venturi tube.
•  Electrode and burner 
are wet.
•  Wire is loose or 
disconnected.
•  Wire is shorting 
(sparking between 
igniter wire and 
electrode). • 
See Assembly Instructions for 
INSTALLING THE BURNER.
•  When lighting the burner, 
push-in and turn regulator 
knob counter-clockwise to the 
high position. Push in igniter 
button several times so that it 
clicks each time.
•  The spacing between 
electrode and burner ports 
should be approximately 3/16”. 
Make sure wire connections 
are secure and burner is 
attached securely to brackets.
•  Use a pipe cleaner to clear 
Venturi tube.
•  Dispose of empty cylinder and 
replace with a full one.
•  Tighten coupling nut until a 
snug fit is obtained. Make 
sure Coupling nut is not cross-
threaded.
•  Turn regulator knob to “OFF” 
position. Wait five minutes. 
Relight LP gas grill. If flame 
remains to be low, turn off 
gas. Disconnect the LP gas 
cylinder from the regulator. 
Reconnect the LP gas cylinder 
to the regulator. Perform a 
leak test. Relight grill. This will 
reset the excess flow valve.
•  Clean burner (See BURNER 
MAINTENANCE in Care 
and Cleaning section of this 
manual).
•  Dry electrode with clean cloth.
•  Reconnect the wire.
•  Replace igniter wire/electrode 
assembly  (Call the Customer 
Service Department @  
1-800-231-9786).

Burner will not 
light using a 
match.• 
LP gas cylinder is 
empty.
•  Regulator tube 
coupling nut is not fully 
connected to Venturi.
•  Obstructions in burner • 
Dispose of empty cylinder and 
replace with a full one.
•  Tighten coupling nut until a 
snug fit is obtained. Make 
sure coupling nut is not cross-
threaded.
•  Clean burner (See BURNER 
MAINTENANCE in Care 
and Cleaning section of this 
manual)
Flames blow out • High or gusting winds
•  Gas in LP cylinder is 
low. • 
Turn front of grill away from 
wind or increase flame height.
•  Check LP gas cylinder. 
Replace if necessary.
Persistent grease 
fire • 
Grease trapped in bowl 
and around burner 
system. • 
Turn regulator knob “OFF”. 
Let fire burn out and remove 
grid plate. After the grill cools, 
clean all parts.
Humming or 
whistling from 
the regulator • 
Outside temperature, 
humidity, barometric 
pressure, and the gas 
level within the tank 
may cause the rubber 
diaphragm inside the 
regulator to vibrate, 
making a humming or 
whistling sound. • 
Although this sound may 
be alarming, this is NOT 
dangerous as long as it is not 
accompanied by the smell of 
gas. Simply adjust the burner 
settings and usually the sound 
will subside. If the humming 
sound persists, a change in 
atmospheric conditions will 
eventually stop the vibration. 
Should you smell gas, do not 
use the grill and call Customer 
Service at 1-800-231-0786.
Low flame or low 
heat • 
Gas in LP cylinder  
is low. •

s, los 
productos de la combustión de dichos combustibles, incluido el gas lí\
quido de 
petróleo (LP), contienen sustancias químicas conocidas al estado\
 de California 
y otras autoridades como causadoras de cáncer, defectos de nacimiento y otros 
daños reproductivos.
4.  Coloque su parrilla a gas líquido de petróleo (LP) sobre una sup\
erficie firme 
y nivelada. Se debe instalar la parrilla lejos de áreas de tráfico\
 intenso y 
materiales combustibles.

r 
edificio. No use la parrilla en un garaje, pasadizo techado, cobertizo p\
ara 
carros, porche o en cualquier área cerrada o con gran tráfico. No \
ubique 
este aparato debajo o cerca de estructuras combustibles, materiales, 
gasolina y otros líquidos o vapores inflamables. La parrilla debe col\
ocarse 
sobre una superficie estable y nivelada. Las superficies de asfalto pued\
en no 
ser aceptables para este fin.
