What to do if my Cuisinart CGG-340 will not light?

  If your Cuisinart Grill won't light, first ensure that your liquid propane cylinder isn't empty. Then, check the burner ports for any blockages and clear them using a soft wire brush. Finally, inspect the gas orifice on the burner for obstructions, cleaning it with a needle or thin wire, but never use a wooden toothpick.

Why is the Cuisinart Grill heat low even on the 'HI' setting?
- A
  Amanda LawrenceAug 25, 2025
  If you're experiencing low heat with the control knob on the “HI” setting on your Cuisinart Grill, ensure the grill area is clear of dust, and that the burner and orifice are clean. Check for spiders and insects. Also, verify that you have an adequate gas supply and that the grill is being preheated for 15 minutes.

The Cuisinart Chef's Style Roll-Away Portable Gas Grill, Model NO: CGG-340, is an outdoor cooking appliance designed for convenience and portability. This gas grill is intended for outdoor use only, in a well-ventilated space, and should not be operated in enclosed areas such as garages or buildings. It is not designed for installation in recreational vehicles or boats.

Function Description:

The Cuisinart CGG-340 is a portable gas grill that utilizes liquid propane (LP) gas for cooking. It features a main burner with a total gas consumption of 20,000 BTU/Hr when set to "HI." The grill is designed for easy assembly, folding, and transport, making it suitable for various outdoor activities. It includes a lid assembly with a temperature gauge, cooking grates, and flame tamers for efficient heat distribution and cooking. The roll-away design allows for compact storage and effortless movement.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model Number: CGG-340
Fuel Type: Liquid Propane (LP) gas only
Total Gas Consumption (Main Burner): 20,000 BTU/Hr (on "HI" setting)
Manifold Pressure (Operating): 11 inches water column (W.C.)
Manifold Pressure (Non-operating): 11.2 inches water column (W.C.)
LP Gas Cylinder Requirements: Must be constructed and marked in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or National Standard of Canada, CAN-B339 specifications. Must have a shut-off valve terminating in a QCC1 connection type and be fitted with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
Hose Length: The hose connected regulator provided is 38 inches long.
Clearance from Combustible Materials: Minimum 36 inches from back and sides of the grill.
Dimensions (folded/transport): Designed for compact storage and transport.
Construction Materials: Stainless steel for the gas burner, cooking grid, and grease tray.

Usage Features:

Portability and Roll-Away Design: The grill features a unique leg assembly that allows it to be easily folded and transported. Wheels are attached to the leg assembly, enabling users to roll the grill to their desired location. A securing latch keeps the grill body attached to the leg assembly during transport.
Easy Assembly: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the grill, including attaching the wheels, connecting leg components, securing the grill body to the leg assembly, and installing side tables, flame tamers, and cooking grates.
Ignition System: The grill is equipped with an ignition system. To light, users push and turn the main burner knob slowly to "IGNITE/HI" with the lid open. If ignition fails, a match can be inserted into the lighting rod through the cooking grids to light the burner.
Temperature Control: The main burner knob allows for adjustment of the flame, providing control over cooking temperature. A temperature gauge on the lid helps monitor the internal temperature.
Side Tables: Two side table assemblies provide convenient space for food preparation or holding utensils.
Grease Management: A grease pan slides into place under the grill body to collect drippings, making cleanup easier.
Safety Latches: Long and short securing latches are used to hold the grill in its upright operating position and its folded transport position, respectively.
Outdoor Use Only: Emphasized throughout the manual, the grill is strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas to prevent gas buildup and potential hazards.

Maintenance Features:

Burner Cleaning: The stainless steel gas burner should be inspected for insects/nests inside the air intake slots. The exterior can be cleaned with a wire brush, and clogged ports can be cleared with a straightened paper clip (never a wooden toothpick). Proper placement of the burner over the orifice is crucial after cleaning.
Cooking Grid and Grease Tray Cleaning: The stainless steel cooking grid should be brushed with a steel brush immediately after cooking while still warm. The stainless steel grease tray can be cleaned with a flat scraper or warm soapy water. It is important to keep the grease tray clean to prevent heavy buildup and flare-ups.
Firebox Cleaning: The firebox area can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
Drain Hole Maintenance: The drain hole must be kept clear of grease and food particles to ensure proper drainage into the grease tray.
Leak Testing: A critical maintenance step, leak testing should be performed before each use and after any re-connection of the LP gas cylinder. A soap and water solution is applied to all gas fittings; bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, the gas supply must be turned off, and the fitting tightened or professional assistance sought.
Spider and Insect Inspection: Burners should be inspected at least twice a year or immediately if gas odor, yellow flames, uneven heating, or popping noises occur, as spiders and insects can block gas flow.
Storage: When not in use, the grill should be stored out of the weather. If stored indoors, the LP gas cylinder must be disconnected and stored outdoors, out of reach of children.
Hose and Regulator Inspection: The hose should be kept away from heated surfaces and inspected for abrasion, wear, or cuts. Any damaged hose must be replaced.
Cool-Down Period: Always allow the grill to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving or transporting it.
