Why is the igniter not sparking on my Sunshine HORIZON 4600 Grill?

  If the igniter on your Sunshine Grill isn't sparking, several factors could be at play. First, the electrode might be fouled; try wiping it with a soft, clean cloth. Second, the electrode might be improperly gapped; ensure it's positioned 3 mm to 5 mm away from the burner tube and close to the gas ports. A cracked electrode can also cause this issue, so inspect the ceramic insulator and replace the electrode if cracked. Also, check all lead wires to ensure they are correctly connected to both the spark box and the electrode. Replace any cracked lead wires. If there's still no spark, remove the plate and visually inspect the ignition box. If no spark is visible, contact an authorized service agent.

  Flare-ups on your Sunshine Grill can happen for a few reasons. Excessive fatty foods are a common cause; make sure to trim excess fat from meat before cooking. Another cause is grease buildup. Ensure the flame deflectors are clean of excess grease and correctly positioned. Also, remove any excess grease from the burn chamber.

  If the burners on your Sunshine Grill won't light, start by checking if the gas supply is turned on and ensure you're not out of LPG. Listen and smell for gas to confirm. Also, check for blockages in the gas system, especially in the venture tubes—use a special venture brush to clean them. Make sure the burner tube is correctly arranged on the main orifice by checking under the flame deflectors. Finally, ensure the gas line or propane hose connection is properly tightened at the LPG tank, but only hand-tighten it.

  An uneven burn pattern or flashback in your Sunshine Grill can stem from a blockage in the burner or gas system. Check the venture tubes for obstructions, such as insects, and use a venture brush to clean them. Another cause could be a corroded burner, where the material between gas ports deteriorates. If the burner is corroded, contact your HORIZON dealer for a replacement burner tube.

  If your Sunshine Grill won't stay lit, wind could be the culprit; try to shelter the grill from strong winds. Another possibility is that you're running out of fuel; check for the smell or hiss of gas to confirm.
