During the course of using your grill, you may occasionally encounter some cases where you have

questions as to how to keep your grill running properly. Following is a list of symptoms followed by the most
commonly used solutions.

Please, if you have a problem with your grill, and you are attempting to remedy it by yourself using the

Comments: An unsuccessful ignition is often experienced when a gust of flames occurs due to the grill being
flooded with gas. This is a result of failure to follow the proper lighting instructions as explained in the owner's
manual. The gas is left on for over the allowed 3 to 5 seconds before ignition and finally it ignites. If the grill
fails to light with the igniter, use the match lighting instructions explained in the owner's manual.
