flame.
Flames blow out.
Flare-up.
Persistent grease fire.
Flashback (fire in burner tube(s)).
Troubleshooting - Electronic Ignition
Problem (Ignition)
SECTION I
No sparks appear at electrode when
Set Temperature is selected and
Control Knob is pressed; no noise
can be heard from controller spark
module.
SECTION II
No sparks appear at electrode
when Set Temperature is selected
and Control Knob is pressed; noise
can be heard from controller spark
module.
SECTION III
Sparks are present but not at all
electrodes and/or not at full strength
Possible Cause
•
Out of gas.
•
Excess flow valve tripped.
•
Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.
•
High or gusting winds.
•
Low on LP gas.
•
Excess flow valve tripped.
•
Grease buildup.
•
Excessive fat in meat.
•
Excessive cooking temperature.
•
Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.
•
Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
Possible Cause Check Procedure
• •
Faulty controller.
• •
Output lead connections not
connected.
• •
Arcing to grill away from
burner(s).
• •
Output lead connections not
connected.
• •
Arcing to grill away from
burner(s).
• •
Electrodes are wet.
• •
Electrodes cracked or broken
"sparks at crack".
Prevention/Solution
•
Check for gas in LP cylinder.
•
Turn off controller, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low, turn off
controller and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and
leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill.
•
Turn off controller and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder.
Reconnect and retry.
•
Turn front of grill to face wind.
•
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 controller 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 controller OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning
section of Use and Care.
Prevention/Solution
•
If no sparks are generated with good
wire connections, controller is faulty.
•
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.

•
Has moisture accumulated on
electrode and/or in burner ports?
•
Inspect electrodes for cracks.
Pa ge 57
Replace controller assembly.
Remove and reconnect output connection at electrode.
If sparks are observed other than from burner(s), wire insulation
may be damaged. Replace wires.
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.
Use paper towel to remove moisture.
Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
