ALL-SEAR CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT
No part of the grill should ever be lined with aluminum foil.
Doing so will interfere with airflow and can cause a low heat
condition.
Ensure that you’ve pre-heated the main burners for at least
10 to 15 minutes with the hood closed.
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A grill that is
out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inef-
ficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be
used to level the grill both front-to-back and side-to-side.
If the low heat problem persists:
•Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.
•Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.
REPLACE any damaged supply lines.
•Check the Regulator
Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one
designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it
is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See
INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.)
The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if
your grill is set-up for an LP Gas Cylinder.
Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to
the regulator attached to the back of the grill. The regulator
contains a flexible diaphragm and should not be allowed to
touch the grill body or its surroundings.
•Check for Obstructions
Ensure that the burners and drip tray are clean and free
from obstructions.
LP (Propane) units:
•Is the cylinder almost empty?
Almost-empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure to
run the burners at high heat.
•Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
•Flow Limiting Device
Improper lighting procedures may have activated the LP
cylinder’s flow control device, reducing the heat output.
To reset the flow control:
•Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder
valve.
•Wait 30 seconds and, very slowly, reopen the cylinder
valve.
•Wait a few seconds and relite a burner.
•Bulk LP Cylinder Users
Bulk LP cylinder lines must be properly regulated.
Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator sup-
plied by Lynx and converted to LP gas. Also ensure that you
do not have more than one regulator in line.
Natural Gas units:
•Supply Line
Ensure that the supply line is at least 3/4” inside diameter
or 1” outside diameter.
•Check line pressure
Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 7” W.C. and
manifold pressure not less that 4” W.C. under full load (with
all burners on.)
•Check burners for blockages
WIND HITTING GRILL
Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing
into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor
performance and in some cases can cause the control panel
to get dangerously hot.
Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of
hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and
avoid grilling in windy conditions.
