POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Remove the grill rack and the stainless steel radiant tray, and watch
the igniter tip. You should see a spark jump from the tip of the igniter
when the knob is turned. If there is no spark check to ensure there is
gas supplied to the unit.
• Use a match to light the burner. (See the "To light the grill" section).
• Visually check the electrode and wire while turning the igniter.
The only place a spark should appear is at the electrode tip.
If the electrode or wire leaks voltage, remove and replace.
• Purge the gas line of any air.
• Check the orifice for blockage.
• Inspect the igniter tip to make sure it is clean and free from debris.
Clean the area. Readjust for 1/8 gap.
• Check the burner inlet for obstructions.
(See the "Installation Instructions").
• Placement of the cooking center is important for proper burner
operation. Do not place the cooking center in a dusty area.
• Inspect the fuel hose to ensure it is not bent or kinked.
• Adequate gas supply may not be available. Check to make sure there
is gas in the LP tank (on some models).
• If it is only one burner that appears low, the burner or burner orifice
may need cleaning.
• The air shutter may need adjustment.
• Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
• Use a match to light the burner.
• Readjust the thermocouple so that it is not bent or kinked, but
lies flat against the burner.
• The burner may be upside down. Rotate the burner 180° and
reinstall. Make sure it is secure and level.
