What to do if my Thermos Grill has a flare-up?
If your Thermos Grill experiences a flare-up, it could be due to grease buildup. Clean the burners and the inside of the grill/firebox. Another cause might be excessive fat in the meat; trim the fat before grilling. Finally, check for excessive cooking temperature and adjust accordingly by lowering the temperature.
Why is there a sudden drop in gas flow in my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409?
A sudden drop in gas flow or low flame in your Thermos Grill can be caused by several factors. First, check if your LP cylinder is out of gas. Second, the excess flow valve may have tripped; to resolve this, turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds, and light the grill. If flames are still low, turn off the knobs and LP cylinder valve, disconnect the regulator, reconnect it, perform a leak test, turn on the LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds, and then light the grill. Lastly, a vapor lock may have occurred at the coupling nut/LP cylinder connection; turn off the knobs and LP cylinder valve, disconnect the coupling nut from the cylinder, reconnect it, and try again.
What to do if flames blow out on my Thermos Grill?
If the flames on your Thermos Grill blow out, it could be due to high or gusting winds; turn the front of the grill to face the wind or increase the flame height. It could also be because you're low on LP gas; refill the LP cylinder. Another possible cause is that the excess flow valve has tripped; refer to the instructions for a 'Sudden drop in gas flow' to resolve this.
What to do if my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409 Grill has a persistent grease fire?
If your Thermos Grill has a persistent grease fire, it's likely due to grease trapped by food buildup around the burner system. Turn the knobs to the OFF position and turn off the gas at the LP cylinder. Leave the lid in position and let the fire burn out. After the grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
What to do if my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409 has a flashback (fire in burner tube(s))?
If you experience a flashback (fire in burner tube(s)) in your Thermos Grill, it indicates that the burner and/or burner tubes are blocked. Turn the knobs to the OFF position and clean the burner and/or burner tubes. Consult the burner cleaning section of the Use and Care guide for detailed instructions.
What to do if one burner does not light from other burners on my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409 Grill?

What to do if there are no sparks at any electrodes when the control knob is turned and no noise can be heard from the spark module on my Thermos Grill (SECTION I)?
If there are no sparks at any electrodes and no noise from the spark module on your Thermos Grill, first check the battery orientation. If that's not the issue, replace the battery with a new AA-size alkaline battery. Also, ensure the button assembly is installed properly by unscrewing and reinstalling it, making sure the threads are aligned and fully engaged. If none of these steps work, the spark module may be faulty and needs replacement.
What to do if there are no sparks at any electrodes when the control knob is turned, but noise can be heard from the spark module on my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409 Grill (SECTION II)?
If there are no sparks at any electrodes but you can hear noise from the spark module on your Thermos Grill, the output lead connections may not be connected. Remove and reconnect all output connections at the module and electrodes.
What to do if sparks are present but not at all electrodes and/or not at full strength on my Thermos HEATWAVE 461262409 Grill (SECTION III)?
If sparks are present but not at all electrodes or not at full strength on your Thermos Grill, first, remove and reconnect all output connections at the module and electrodes. If possible, observe the grill in a dark location to check for arcing between output wires and the grill frame. Replace the battery with a new AA-size alkaline battery if it's weak. Use a paper towel to remove moisture if the electrodes are wet. Finally, replace any cracked or broken electrodes.
