TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM WHAT TO DO
Burner won't light when the
ignition is pushed.
Burner flame is yellow or
orange, in conjunction with the
odor of gas.
Low heat with knob in "HI"
position.
Remove the burner grate. With the control knob in the
"OFF" position, listen to the electrode while engaging
the ignition. There should be a spark from the
electrode. When the spark jumps, it makes a ticking
sound.
If there is no spark ........
Could be a dead battery. Try replacing the battery.
Or the air gap between an electrode tip and a contact
metal is too far (gap should be 1/8") or dirty.
If there is a spark.., is there gas supplied to the unit and
is the line purged of air? See Fig. 04 and Fig. 05.
Does the other burner of a dual burner model
operate?
Check the orifice orventuri for blockage.
Check the burner for obstructions or dirt. See page 15.
Check for proper gas supply or wrong gas type.
Is the side burner in a dusty area? Move to less dusty
area if possible.
Is the fuel hose bent or kinked? See Fig. 04 and
Fig. 05.
Is there adequate gas supply available? If it is only one
burner of the dual burner unit that appears low, does
the burner need cleaning? See Fig. 10 and
Fig. 11.
If using LP gas, check for empty tank or low fill level.
