Prevention/Solution
•Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems. Discontinue use of
product and replace valve/hose/regulator. Once valve/hose/regulator replaced
conduct complete leak check per manual.
•Replace LP cylinder.
•Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
•Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and visually inspect rubber
seal in cylinder valve for damage. If damage or cannot correct leak replace cylinder.
See LP Cylinder Leak Test and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
•Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to
allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove
burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard
and Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.

allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and
excess grease from inside firebox area, grease cup, and other
surfaces.
Prevention/Solution
•See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.
•Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.
•Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other
matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.
•Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to "Sudden drop in gas flow" in Troubleshooting section.
•Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.
•Replace electrode(s).
Main Burners:
•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary.
Sideburner (if featured):
•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. the distance should be 1/8" to 3/16". Adjust if necessary.
•Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
•Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.
•Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
