Use a pin or needle to probe the orifice in the gas valve. Never
enlarge the orifice (Fig. 17).
Use a small nail or toothpick to clean the burner ports (Fig. 17).
Corrosion of a gas burner can cause the solid material between
the gas ports to deteriorate, resulting in uneven burning. See

Wipe the electrode with a soft, clean cloth.
The electrode should be located 1/8” to 3/16” from the
burner, and positioned to spark to the edge of a gas port.
If the gap is incorrect, or the unit is not properly sparking,
gently bend the electrode tip into position. Use caution so
that the ceramic insulator does not crack.
If the ceramic insulator on the electrode is cracked, it may
short out. Replace the electrode.
Confirm that the lead from the Ignitor module to the elec-
trode is well seated on the termination of the module.
A crack in the lead wire may result in shorting. Replace the
wire.
The battery in the Igniter Button may be dead or installed
incorrectly. Correct position is positive end down.

Your Grill should burn with a predominantly blue flame.
If the flame is mostly yellow, check the venturi tubes for ob-
struction and clean as shown on Page 19. If yellow flames still
persist, adjust the opening on the air shutter of the venturi tube
located under the front console of the Grill (Fig. 20).
