Excess
flow safety valve reset procedure
ﾷ The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe
practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
ﾷ A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in
an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
ﾷ This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a
Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
ﾷ To ensure the procedure is safely and is successfully performed, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8. Wait for at least 5 minutes.
9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.
10. SLOWLY turn the LP tank valve at ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
11. With the lid open , For BBQ with ignition button : ONLY turn on ONE front burner control knob to the HIGH position. Ignite
the grill by pushing the ignition button. For BBQ with an automatic ignition : Push down the control knob you want to light, turn
counter clock wise until you hear the ignition click.
12. After the first front burner is lit, turn on the other control knob(s) to the HIGH position. **If you have more than two burners, ONLY
turn them on ONE AT A TIME.
13. When all front burners are lit, close the BBQ lid
14. Wait for 10-15 minutes, the temperature should reach 400 – 450 F°
Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips
between I inch - 2 inches high. Out of adjustment: Noisy hard blue flames – too much air. Poor combustion: Wavy, yellow flames- too little air.
