Troubleshooting Your Grill
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING
Inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas.
• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (Some yellow at the tips is OK.)
• The grill will not get hot enough.
• Burners make a snapping noise.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and other grills, which could disrupt
gas flow. This dangerous condition could cause a fire behind and beneath the valve
panel, damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the
grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least once a year to reduce this risk.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the chart below before contacting your dealer for service. You
may save yourself the cost of a service call. Troubleshooting is for general purposes only. If the problem
still exists, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized agency for service.
Problem:
Possible Causes and Solutions:
Grill will not light
• Is your gas supply turned on?
• If this is an LP (Propane) grill, is there gas in your tank? Check
your gas level.
• Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to 5 seconds of gas
flow to ignite.
- You should hear a snapping sound when you turn the knob.
Flare-ups
• Check flame tamers and cooking grates for excess food or
grease build-up.
• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.
Be sure drip tray is clean (do not use aluminum foil on drip
tray.)
Note: Some flare-ups may be inevitable if cooking greasy
foods.
Yellow Flames
• Check the burner inlet for obstructions, particularly at air inlets
for each burner.
