Prevention/Solution
• Check for gas in LP cylinder.
• Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low, turn off knobs

Reconnect and retry.
•Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height by turning gas valve to a
higher postion.
• Refill LP cylinder.
• 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 cylinder. 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.
• Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.
Prevention/Solution
• Install battery (make sure that "+" and "–" connectors are
oriented correctly, with "+" on cap end.)
• Replace battery with new alkaline battery.
• Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall, making sure
threads are aligned and engaged fully.
• Replace spark module assembly.
• Remove and reconnect all output connections at module and
electrodes.
• 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.
