Problem: Smell of gas is present
Solution: Check for loose connections in the gas line. Perform a leak test following the procedure described
in this manual.
Problem: Burner does not ignite
Solution: Note: Turn off the gas at the source while troubleshooting.
Use the following procedure with the gure below.
Check the position of the sparker tip. It should be pointing forward towards the front of the
burner.
• Make sure there is a blue spark at the electrode tip to the burner.
• Make sure the igniter wire is connected rmly to the valve ignition device and the electrode.
• Make sure the valve orice is free of any debris, dust or grease.
• Make sure the valve orice is aligned inside the front hole of the burner.
• If there is no spark at all, replace the electrode or igniter wire.
Problem: Burner tube is misaligned over the orice
Solution: Reposition the burner tube so that it is properly seated over the orice.
Problem: Obstruction in the gas line
Solution: Remove the fuel line from grill. (Do not smoke or perform any maintenance in the vicinity of an
open ame.) Open the gas valve for one second to blow out any debris. Close off the gas valve
and reconnect the fuel line securely. Let the area ventilate for a few seconds before reconnecting
the fuel line.
Problem: Yellow Flame
Solution: Once the entire burner is operating, check the ame color to be sure that it is mostly blue. Some
yellow at the tips may be present due to impurities in the fuel. If the ame is golden or yellow in
color, the reason could be seasoning salts, oil lm, or other foreign matter on the burner.
