Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Gas Flow Issues**
If the grill does not reach the desired temperature or heats unevenly, it could be due to the "flow limiting device" being activated unintentionally. This can happen if the LP tank is turned on too quickly or if any of the knobs are not in the off position when turning on the tank -
**Ignition Problems**
The grill burners may fail to ignite if there is an issue with the electronic ignition system. This could be due to a faulty battery, loose wire connections, or dirty igniter electrodes -
**Greasy Grill**
The inside of the grill lid may appear to have peeling paint, which is actually caused by accumulated cooking vapors turning into carbon. Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent these from flaking into your food -
**Flare-ups and Smoke**
Frequent flare-ups can occur if the inside of the grill is not cleaned regularly, particularly if there is leftover food residue. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the grill are necessary to prevent such issues -
**Gas Leak Detection**
The grill can develop gas leaks at various connections like the regulator or LP tank due to improper connection or damage. It is crucial to perform leak checks regularly and replace any defective parts immediately
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- **Clean the Cooking Grates Regularly**: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the cooking grates while they are still warm. This will prevent food from sticking and maintain grill performance.
- **Inspect and Clean Spider Screens**: Regularly check and clean the spider/insect screens on the burners to ensure they are not blocked, as this can impede gas flow and affect performance.
- **Clean the Interior and Exterior**: After use, clean both the inside and outside of the grill. Use warm soapy water for enameled and plastic surfaces and a non-abrasive cleaner for stainless steel parts.
- **Regular Maintenance of the Grease Management System**: Ensure the angled slide-out grease tray and catch pan are emptied and cleaned after each use to prevent buildup and potential grease fires.
- **Protect from Harsh Environments**: If your grill is used in harsh conditions like coastal areas, clean it more frequently with warm soapy water and apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Preheat the grill with the lid closed on the highest setting for 15 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperatures and avoid energy wastage from repeated reheating.
- Keep the lid closed while cooking to maintain heat, reduce cooking times, and enhance the smoky flavor without using extra fuel.
- Use the indirect cooking method for larger cuts of meat, which allows for even cooking without needing high constant heat, thus saving energy.
- Clean the burners and FLAVORIZER BARS regularly to ensure efficient fuel consumption and even heat distribution.
- Regularly check and maintain burner flames for a consistent blue hue, indicating an efficient air-gas mix and preventing fuel wastage due to combustion issues.
- Always close the tank valve before disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly or any gas fitting while the grill is in operation.
- Do not store a spare LP tank under or near the grill. Never fill the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow these statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
- Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline and alcohol, and combustible materials.
- Never leave the grill unattended during pre-heating or use. Exercise caution when using this grill as the entire cookbox gets hot when in use.
- If you smell gas, shut off the gas to the appliance, extinguish any open flame, open lid, and if odor continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your gas supplier or fire department.
