Possible Cause
ELECTRONIC IGNITION:
• No spark, no ignition noise.
• No spark, some ignition noise.
• Sparks, but not at the electrode
or at full strength.
• See "GAS ISSUES:" on the
previous page.
• Match will not reach.
• Improper method of match-
lighting.
• Out of gas.
• Excess flow valve tripped.
• Vapor lock at the coupling
nut/LP tank connection.
• High or gusting winds.
• Low on LP gas.
• Excess flow valve tripped.
• Drip buildup.
• Excessive fat in meat.
• Excessive cooking temperature.
• Drip trapped by food buildup
around the burner system.
• Burner and/or burner tubes are
blocked.
• Some dealers have older fill
nozzles with worn threads.
• Drip buildup or food particles in
the end(s of carryover tube(s).
Prevention/Solution
• See Section I of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section II of the Electronic Ignition System.
• See Section III of the Electronic Ignition System.
• Use a long-stem match (fireplace match).
• See "Match-Lighting" section on page 9 of the Use and
Care.
• Check for gas in the LP tank.
• Turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds and light the grill. If
the flames are still low, turn off the knobs and LP tank
valve. Disconnect the regulator. Reconnect the regulator
and perform a leak-test. Turn on the LP tank valve, wait 30
seconds and then light the grill.
• Turn off the knobs and the LP tank valve. Disconnect the
coupling nut from the tank. Reconnect and retry.
• Turn the grill so that the front of the grill faces the wind or
increase the flame height.
• Refill the LP tank.
• Refer to the "Sudden drop in gas flow" section above.
• Clean the burners and the inside of the grill/firebox.
• Trim the fat from the meat before grilling.
• Adjust to a lower temperature.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Turn the gas in the LP tank off.
Leave the lid in position and let the fire burn out. After the
grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
• Turn the knobs to OFF. Clean the burner and/or burner
tubes. See the burner cleaning section on page 10 of the
Use and Care.
• The worn nozzles don't have enough "bite" to engage the
valve. Try a second LP dealer.
• Clean the carry-over tube(s) with a wire brush.
