Meco Aussie Portable LP 2200 - Manual (Page 14)

Problem
Humming or whistling
from the regulator
Possible Cause
Outside temperature, humidi-
ty, barometric pressure, and
the gas level within the tank
may cause the rubber
diaphragm inside the regula-
tor to vibrate, making a hum-
ming or whistling sound.
Solution
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
