Electrode Check - Requires an Assistant
Before placing the cooking components into your
grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is
properly positioned within each Gas Collector Box
(a 3-1/4" wide stainless mechanism found at the
front between each set of burners.) The easiest way
to ensure this is to perform the following Electrode
Check:
1. Be sure alt Control Knobs are set to OFF.
Open the Grill Lid.
2. Have an assistant stand behind to the right
of the grill and look down at each Gas
Collector Box. NEVER put your face inside
the Grill Head.
3. Press the Ignitor Cap and have the assistant
watch for a small blue spark within each
Gas Collector Box. If a spark is present the
Electrode Tips are properly positioned.
4. If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in
Fig. 13 needs to be adjusted as follows:
• Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the Inside
Nut just until the Gas Collector Box can be
maneuvered and turned upward.
• The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip
and the Spark Receiver should be approxi­
mately 3/16".
• If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long
nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collec­
tor Box until the gap is correct.
• Return the Gas Collector Box to its original
horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and
try the Electrode Check again.
