Moving and Storage
A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could
cause injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.
Moving the grill:
• DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects
on the cooking surface or side tables.
• Clean the grease tray before moving the grill to
prevent spills.
• Collapse the grill before moving.
• Move the grill slowly. DO NOT run with the grill behind
you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.
After moving the grill:
• Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from
the movement.
• Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over
the orifices .
Steps to follow before storing grill:
• Clean the grill, including the grease tray.
• Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.
• For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach
the cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, remove the cylinder
and cover the grill for protection from the weather. Grill
covers may be purchased from a grill dealer
or manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Grill will not light when the igniter
button is pushed or has incomplete
burner flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.
2. Make sure one of the burners is turned on. Allow up to
four seconds for gas flow to ignite.
3. If burner lights with match but not igniter, check the
ceramic electrode position near the burner, the condition
of the igniter wire and its connections. Perform igniter
test and replace any damaged parts.
4. Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and
clean venturi.
5. Check for misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position
venturi over orifices.
6. Burner ports, orifices or valves have blockage.
Clean the components.
7. Regulator failure; regulator needs to be replaced by an
authorized service dealer.
8. Make sure the regulator and cylinder are properly
assembled. See the section titled "Installing 1 lb.
Propane Cylinders".
CAUTION
Problem: Yellow flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nest in the venturi and
clean the venturi.
2. New burner may have residual oil which will burn off.
3. Clean off any food residue, grease or seasoning salts on
the burner.
4. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up
over the orifice.
Problem: Flame blows out on low setting or has
uneven heat distribution.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nests in the venturi and
clean the venturi.
2. Cold grill needs to be preheated for 5 minutes on
high setting.
3. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up
over the orifices.
4. Cold and windy weather will require you to move the grill
away from the wind.
5. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.
Problem: Grill too hot.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Excessive flareups which require the maintenance
described in the section titled "IN CASE OF GREASE FIRE".
2. A damaged orifice or regulator which requires replacement
with factory authorized parts.

emptying the grease tray.
4. Choose a lower cooking temperature if using excessively
high settings.
Problem: Fire at any connection.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
IMMEDIATELY shut off control valves and allow grill to cool.
1. Gas is leaking from a faulty connection. Tighten

damaged parts. Perform a leak test on all connections
before cooking on the grill again.
