Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
Ignition Failure
The grill may not ignite due to issues with the gas flow or the ignition system itself. The first step is to check if there is gas flowing by attempting to light the grill using a match. If gas is present and the grill ignites, the problem lies within the ignition system -
Uneven Heating
This issue often occurs when the LP cylinder is low or empty, or if the burner ports are dirty. Ensuring the cylinder is full and cleaning the burner ports are common solutions -
Low or Fluctuating Flame
A low or irregular flame pattern can result from obstructions in the spider screens or clogged burner tubes. Regular cleaning can help maintain a consistent flame -
Peeling Paint (Carbon Deposits)
Accumulated cooking vapors can turn into carbon, which peels over time. This is not a defect but requires regular cleaning of the lid to maintain appearance and hygiene -
Gas Leak Concerns
If there's a smell of gas or a light hissing sound, this could indicate an incomplete connection between the regulator and LP cylinder or a damaged coupling. It is advised to extinguish any flames, verify the connection, and, if necessary, contact customer service
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Clean the Inside of the Lid**
Frequency: **Each Use**
Brush carbonized grease using a stainless steel bristle grill brush while the grill is warm. Wipe with a paper towel after grilling. -
2. **Clean the Cooking Grates**
Frequency: **After Each Use**
Brush the cooking grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush immediately after preheating to prevent food sticking. -
3. **Clean the Burner Ports**
Frequency: **As Needed**
Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean across the top of the burner ports. Avoid brushing lengthwise to prevent debris transfer between ports. -
4. **Check and Clean Spider Screens**
Frequency: **Annually**
Clean the spider/insect screens on the burner ends to ensure they are free from obstructions. -
5. **Inspect and Clean the Grease Management System**
Frequency: **Before Each Use**
Remove the slide-out catch pan and check for excessive grease. Replace the disposable drip pan as necessary. -
6. **Perform a Gas Leak Check**
Frequency: **Whenever Reconnecting Gas**
Use a soap and water solution to check for leaks at all gas connections. Never use a flame for this test. -
7. **General Grill Cleaning**
Frequency: **Twice a Year or Quarterly**
Perform a thorough cleaning from the top down, scraping debris inside the cookbox and checking burner tube openings.
- Brush the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush to remove carbonized grease, and wipe with a paper towel after grilling while the grill is still warm to minimize build-up.
- Clean the cooking grates immediately after preheating using a stainless steel bristle grill brush to ensure no leftover debris affects your next meal.
- Keep the burner ports and spider/insect screens clean using appropriate brushes, avoiding damage to the ignition electrode.
- Regularly clean the grease management system by removing and inspecting the slide-out catch pan and disposable drip tray to prevent grease fires.
- For the exterior, use a non-toxic, non-abrasive cleaner for stainless steel parts and warm soapy water for painted or enameled surfaces. Always clean with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Preheat Efficiently**: Always preheat the grill with the lid closed for about 10 to 15 minutes. This helps reach the desired temperature quickly while conserving fuel.
- **Keep the Lid Closed**: Try to keep the lid closed as much as possible during cooking to retain heat, reduce cooking time, and improve energy efficiency.
- **Use a Thermometer**: Invest in a simple, instant-read thermometer to accurately gauge the internal temperatures of the food without lifting the lid frequently.
- **Clean Regularly**: Clean the burner ports and cooking grates before use to ensure efficient heat distribution and prevent blockage-related energy waste.
- **Optimize Food Placement**: Avoid overcrowding the grill. Leave enough space for air circulation and even cooking which improves energy use efficiency.
- Do not use the grill within 24 inches (61 cm) of combustible materials, including the top, bottom, back, and sides of the grill.
- Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapors and liquids such as gasoline and alcohol.
- Never use the grill indoors or in any enclosed area, such as a garage or tent.
- If you smell gas, shut off the gas, extinguish any open flames, open the lid, and immediately move away from the grill and call your gas supplier or fire department.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of the grill.
