Question:
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed
somewhere
for reference?
Answer:
The serial and model numbers
are listed on a silver
CSA label placed on the grill. Depending
on the grill
model the silver CSA label will be located on the left or
right side bowl panel underneath
the side shelf, under-
neath the right side of the control panel, outside left or
right of control panel or on the back of the grill cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light properly. Why?
Answer:
Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source
first. This will draw gas across the manifold
helping
prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and prevent
proper grill lighting. Also try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control
Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test
of ALL gas connections and gas sources as explained
in the Use and Care section of this guide.
3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to
clear and repeat the lighting procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor or battey is not working how can I light
my gril manually?And
- Why would I need the silver
lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?
Answer:
If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs replac-
ing, you can manually light your grill by paper match.
Insert a paper match into the silver Lighting Stick and
follow the Manual Grill Lighting Instructions. Then, light
the match and place Lighting Stick through a Cooking
Grid. Turn the nearest Control Knob to the HI setting to
release gas. The Burner should light immediately.
Never
lean over the grill cooking
area while
lighting your gas grill. Keep your face and body
a safe distance (at least 18 inches) from the front
of grill when lighting your grill by match.
Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this? And-
My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator.
A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere
with the operation of your grill. Loud or excessive regulator
humming and/or low flow and intermittent lighting
may
be caused by the regulator's
excess gas flow device.
Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what
triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow,
preventing excess gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main
Burner farthest from the fuel source every time will help
eliminate
air pockets
in the manifold.
Note:
This
procedure
should be done every time a new LP Gas
tank is connected to your grill.
[]
Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.
[]
Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
[]
Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank.
[]
Let unit stand for 5 minutes.
[]
Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank.
[]
Open grill Lid (or Side Burner Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner).
[]
Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn.
[]
Light main Burner farthest from fuel source.
[]
Turn the tank valve slowly one more ¼ of one turn
for ½ of one complete turn.
[]
Continue to light Burners moving towards the fuel
source.
[]
Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG models.
Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better
performance?
Answer:
[]
Strong winds and Iow temperatures
can affect the
heating and performance of your gas grill so factor
in these
elements
when

heat blowing in your face and prevent potential haz-
ards to self and grill.
