TROUblESHOOTING
PROblEM
Low heat.
Excessive flare-ups.
POSSIblE CAUSE
The LP-gas regulator is
equipped with an excess flow
device that allows sufficient
gas to the burners under
normal circumstances. Rapid
changes in pressure can trigger
this device and prevent all
but minimal flow of gas to the
burner, causing a low flame
and low heat output. This is
typically caused by the LP-gas
cylinder valve being turned
open when one or more burner
valves (control knobs) is in the
open position causing a surge
of pressure that activates the
excess flow device.
• G rease and/or residue build-up
on heat tents or in firebox.
• E xcessive dripping of fat or
marinade from food.
• C ooking temperature too high.
CORRECTIvE ACTION
• Follow these steps:
1. Close the LP-gas cylinder valve on
the top of the cylinder.
2. Make sure the burner valves are in
the "OFF" position.
3. Slowly open the LP-gas cylinder
valve and wait 10 seconds.
4. Follow the lighting instructions.
• Clean the grill components.
• T rim the fat from meat and use non-oil
based marinades.
• Lower temperature accordingly.
