Prevention/Solution
• See Section I of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section II of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section III of the Electronic Ignition System.
• Use a long-stem match (fireplace match).
• See "Match-Lighting" section on page 9 of the Use
and Care.
• Check for gas in the gas cylinder.
• Turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds and light the
grill. If the flames are still low, turn off the knobs
and gas cylinder valve. Disconnect the regulator.
Reconnect the regulator and perform a leak-test.
Turn on the gas cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and
then light the grill.
• Turn off the knobs and the gas cylinder valve.
Disconnect the coupling nut from the gas cylinder.
Reconnect and retry.
• Turn the grill so that the front of the grill faces the
wind or increase the flame height.
• Refill the gas cylinder.
• Refer to the "Sudden drop in gas flow" section
above.
• Clean the burners and the inside of the grill/firebox.
• Trim the fat from the meat before grilling.
• Adjust to a lower temperature.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Turn the gas in the gas
cylinder off. Leave the lid in position and let the fire
burn out. After the grill cools, remove and clean all
parts.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Clean the burner and/or
burner tubes. See the burner cleaning section on
page 10 of the Use and Care.
• The worn nozzles don't have enough "bite" to
engage the valve. Try a second LP dealer.
• Clean the carry-over tube(s) with a wire brush.
