- Did you have the cylinder filled? Was all the air purged?
- Is the cylinder valve turned on?
- Is the connection into the cylinder tight?
- Did you press in and turn the burner knob to High?
- If you assembled the grill, did you install the burner so that the venturi is over the orifice?
OLD GRILL. WON'T LIGHT
- No propane in cylinder or service valve not on.
- Venturi blocked by spider web or mud dauber nest.
- Venturi not engaging in burner orifice. Use a common match, as spark igniter may be faulty. Always open the top lid before
attempting to light the grill.
BIG YELLOW FLAMES
-
The most common cause of this condition is a burner rusted
out between the ports. This allows too much gas to flow in some areas.
- Replace the burner.
-
Air shutter closed off. Open it to produce the crisp blue flame typical of propane burners.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
- Always transport and store the cylinders upright.
- Test POL connection at the cylinder for leaks. A fire
at this location can be very dangerous.
- Always turn off the service valve when not in use.
- Store cylinders outside.
- Cylinder coating must be a heat reflecting color.
