6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Burner Not Lighting: Check if the propane tank is open and has sufficient gas. Ensure gas lines are not kinked. Verify igniter is sparking.
• Uneven Heat: Clean burners and FLAVORIZER Bars to remove any blockages. Ensure proper gas flow.
• Low Flame: Check for a tripped "bypass" on the regulator (often caused by opening the tank valve too quickly). Turn off all burners and the tank, wait a few minutes, then slowly open the tank valve fully before lighting burners.
• Grease Fires: Regularly clean the grease management system. Trim excess fat from meats before grilling.
