Model 1820
SYMPTOMS
01. Appliance will not achieve a high heat or heats unevenly.
02. Burner flames start strong, then immediately drop to low even when
burner is set to high position.
03. Flame height drops when a second burner is lit.
04. Flames do not extend the full length of the burner, or only run on one
side of the burner.
05. Burner flames are inconsistent.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
01. United States regulations require
that all regulators contain a flow
limiting device for consumer safety.
This device measures the amount
of propane going through the
regulator to ensure the levels are
safe. If the flow rate through the
regulator is too high (a symptom
of a large leak), the flow limiting
device will trigger, restricting the
flow of propane to reduce the
chance of a dangerous fire. This
safety system can accidentally be
tripped by opening a propane tank
too quickly or opening the propane
tank when a burner knob is not in
the off position.
02. LP gas cylinder is empty or low.
03. Obstructions in the burner, gas jets,
or fuel rail.
04. Regulator stuck in safety position.
SOLUTION
This safety system can be reset by
moving the burner knobs to the off
position, closing the propane tank,
and disconnecting the regulator from
the propane tank. Wait five minutes
to allow the pressure to dissipate,
then reconnect the regulator to the
propane tank and slowly open the
OPD handwheel one half turn. Ignite
your appliance as described in the
Care & Maintenance chapter.
Refill or replace the propane tank.
Clean the burner, jets, and gas hose.
(Please reference the Cleaning the
Burner Assembly section of the Care &
Maintenance chapter.)
Contact customer service for replace-
ment parts.

BURNER FL AME
PAT TERN
Your appliance's burners are
designed to mix oxygen and
propane at a rate that allows for
optimal flames. Should the burn-
er's holes, air gate, or venturi get
blocked, it will affect the propane
and air mixture, causing low or
inconsistent flames, or flames
coming from the air gate.
Healthy flames might have a few
flickers of yellow color ❶ , then a
dark blue color ❷ , followed by a
vibrant blue by the burner tube ❸ .
