Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Ignition Issues**
The burner may not light due to a low or dead battery, cooking residue on wires or electrodes, or cracked electrodes. Ensuring cleanliness and replacing faulty parts can resolve the problem -
**Low Flame or Gas Flow**
This can occur if the gas tank is empty, there's a trip in the excess flow valve, or there's inadequate gas connection. It is essential to check the gas supply and connections -
**Flame Blowout**
High or gusty winds, low gas levels, or excess flow valve trip can cause flames to blow out. Shielding the grill from wind and ensuring an adequate gas supply can help -
**Grease Fire**
Persistent grease fires can happen when burner or burner tubes are blocked. Regular cleaning of these components is necessary to prevent fire hazards -
**Flare-ups**
Caused by grease build-up, excessive fat in the meat, or high cooking temperatures. Keeping the grill clean, trimming fat from meats, and controlling the temperature can reduce flare-ups

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the ceramic grill's heat retaining properties to cook with less charcoal and maintain heat longer.
- Use the dual cooking zones for direct and indirect cooking to efficiently manage cooking times and heat distribution.
- Relight charcoal 2-3 times for multiple cookings to maximize fuel use.
- Use natural lump charcoal, which burns hotter and longer than briquettes.
- Adjust airflow precisely with the vents to maintain optimal temperature without wasting fuel.
- Do not use this grill under combustible surfaces or in any enclosed area, as it is designed for outdoor use only.
- If you smell gas, immediately shut off the gas supply, extinguish any open flames, open the grill lid, and call your gas supplier or fire department.
- Keep the grill and surrounding area clear of gasoline, flammable vapors, and other combustible materials to prevent the risk of fire.
- Never cover the entire cooking surface with griddles or pans, as this can cause overheating, which may result in poor burner performance and safety hazards.
- Always ensure that the pressure regulator provided with the grill is used, and maintain clearance from combustible materials.
