Humming or
whistling from
the regulator Outside temperature, humidi-
ty, barometric pressure, and
the gas level within cylinder
may cause rubber diaphragm
inside the regulator to vibrate,
with a humming or whistling
sound. Although this sound may be alarming, this is NOT dangerous as
long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. Simply adjust the
burner settings and usually the sound will subside. If the humming
sound persists, a change in atmospheric conditions will eventually
stop the vibration. Should you smell gas, do not use the grill and
call Customer Service at 1-800-251-7558
