. ReplaceLPcylinder.
. Turnoff LPcylinder valve. Return LPcylinder to gas supplier.
. Turnoff LPcylindervalve. Removeregulatorfrom cylinder andvisually inspect rubber
sealfor damage.See LP CylinderLeak Testand ConnectingRegulatorto the LP
Cylinder.
. Turnoff controlknobs and LPcylinder valve. Leave lid opento allow flamesto die
down.After fire is out and grill is cold, removeburner and inspectfor spider nestsor
rust.See NaturalHazardand Cleaningthe BurnerAssemblypages.
. Turnoff control knobsand LPcylinder valve. Leave lid opento allow flamesto die
down.After cooling, cleanfood particlesand excessgreasefrom insidefirebox area,

Troubleshooting
Burner(s)will not light
usingignitor.
(See ElectronicIgnition

Continuedon next page.
Burner(s)will not match light.
GAS iSSUES:
. Tryingto lightwrong burner.
. Burnernot engagedwith controlvalve.
. Obstructionin burner.
. No gas flow.
. Seeinstructionson control panel and in UseandCare section.
. Makesure valvesare positionedinsideof burnertubes.
. Ensure burnertubes are notobstructedwithspider websor other matter.See
cleaning sectionof Useand Care.
. Makesure LP cylinderis not empty.If LPcylinder is not empty,referto
"Suddendrop in gas flow."
. Vaporlockat coupling nutto LPcylinder.
. Couplingnutand LP cylindervalve notfully
connected.
ELECTRICALiSSUES:
. Electrodecrackedor broken;"sparks at crack."
. Turnoff knobsand disconnectcoupling nutfrom LP cylinder.Reconnectand retry.
. Turnthe coupling nutapproximatelyone-half to three-quartersadditionalturn until
solidstop. Tightenbyhand only - do not use tools.
. Replaceelectrode(s).
. Electrodetip not in proper position.
(Doesnot applyto SUREFIRE.)
. Wireand/orelectrodecoveredwith cooking residue.
. Wiresare looseor disconnected.
. Wiresare shorting(sparking)betweenignitorand
electrode.
. Deadbattery.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION:
. Nospark, no ignition noise.
. Nospark, some ignition noise.
. Sparks, but notat electrodeor at full strength.
. See "GAS ISSUES:".
. Matchwill not reach.
. Impropermethodof match-lighting.
Main Burners:
. Tip of electrodeshouldbe pointingtowardgas port openingon burner.The
distanceshouldbe 1/8"to 1/4".Adjustif necessary.
Sideburner:
. Tipof electrodeshouldbe pointingtowardgas port openingon burner,the
distance shouldbe 1/8" to 3/16".Adjust if necessary.
. Cleanwire and/or electrodewith rubbingalcoholand clean swab.
. Reconnect w ires or replace electrode/wire assembly.
. Replaceignitorwire/electrodeassembly.
. Replacewith a new alkalinebattery.
