Prevention/Solution
•Check for gas in LP tank.
•Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height.
•Refill LP tank.
•Refer to "Sudden drop in gas flow" above.
•Clean burners and inside of grill/firebox.
•Trim fat from meat before grilling.
•Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.
•Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP tank. Leave lid in position and
let fire burn out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
•Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner
cleaning section of Use and Care manual.
•Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.
Check Procedure
•Check battery orientation.
•Has battery been used
previously?
•Check to ensure battery cap
is fully engaged.
•If no sparks are generated
with new battery and good
wire connections, module is
faulty.
•Are output connections on
and tight?
•Are the electrode tips
pointing in the right
direction? Is the gap too big?
•Are output connections on
and tight?
•If possible, observe grill in
dark location. Operate
ignition system and look for
arcing between output wires
and grill frame.
•All sparks present but weak
or at slow rate.
•Has moisture accumulated
on electrode and/or in burner
ports?
•Inspect electrodes for
cracks.

Prevention/Solution
• Install battery (make sure that "+" and "–" connectors are
oriented correctly, with "+" on cap end.)
•Replace battery with new alkaline battery.
•Remove battery cap and reinstall, making sure it
can be fully engaged.
•Replace spark module assembly.
•Remove and reconnect all output connections at
module and electrodes.
Main Burners:
•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward port hole
in burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 3/16".
Adjust if necessary.
Sideburner:
•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port
opening on burner. The distance should be 1/8" to
3/16". Adjust if necessary.
•Remove and reconnect all output connections at
module and electrodes.
•If sparks are observed other than from burner(s),
wire insulation may be damaged. Replace wires.
•Replace battery with a new alkaline battery.
•Use paper towel to remove moisture.
•Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
