nut/gas cylinder connection.

• Excess flow valve tripped.
• Drip buildup.
• Excessive fat in meat.

• Drip trapped by food buildup
around the burner system.

blocked.

nozzles with worn threads.

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 gas cylinder.
• Turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds and light the grill. If
the flames are still low, turn off the knobs and gas
cylinder valve. Disconnect the regulator. Reconnect the
regulator and perform a leak-test. Turn on the gas
cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light the grill.
• Turn off the knobs and the gas cylinder valve. Disconnect
the coupling nut from the gas cylinder. Reconnect and
retry.
• Turn the grill so that the front of the grill faces the wind
or increase the flame height.
• Refill the gas cylinder.
• 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 gas cylinder
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.
