CHECK and CURE
Be sure you have a fresh battery installed.
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your burners. If
match lighting is successful, the problem lies somewhere in the ignition system and will need
to be checked.
• Check that all wires are connected to the ignition box.
• Be sure that wires are correctly inserted into teminals on ignition box.
CAUTION: Always turn the gas supply off at the tank before
proceeding with any troubleshooting procedures.
WARNING: The hood must be in the full open position any time
you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the hood could
lead to delayed ignition, resulting in bodily harm.
After shutting off the main gas supply, remove the cook grate and heat distribution plates.
Push the igniter button and check if the electrode is sparking to the igniter tube. Try pushing
and holding the igniter so that it clicks several times.
Check to be sure burner ports, shutter, end of the burner (venturi) and orifice(s) are free of
any obstructions. Also, if your grill has been stored over a prolonged period of time, check to
make sure no spiderwebs have been formed in the shutter end of the burner (venturi) or over
orifices.
On an LP grill, if an extremely low flame is present, or is hard to ignite, the flow-limiting device
may have activated. To reset the flow limiter turn all burners control knobs to "HI". Wait at
least 1 minute. Turn burner control knobs "OFF", reconnect the regulator to the cylinder. Turn
cylinder valve on slowly. Refer to Lighting Insructions.
IMPORTANT
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids at all times.
• Do not locate your grill in such a manner or otherwise obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air around the grill.
• As part of the normal maintenance schedule, check to be sure that all
ventilation openings are free and clear from debris.
IMPORTANT
Verify that the battery is in good condition
and installed correctly.
If for any reason the igniter system is
still inoperative, follow match lighting
instructions.
If the main burner(s) still fails to ignite,
make sure that there is gas flowing to the
burner(s) by attempting to match light the
burner(s). If the burners will match light,
then proceed with the ignition checkout.
If for any reason the igniter system is
still inoperative, follow match lighting
instructions.
