- 1). Check the weight gauge next to the the propane tank. Have the tank refilled at an authorized fill station if the tank is empty.
- 2). Test for gas leaks by applying a 50/50 mixture of water and liquid dish detergent with either a spray bottle or a brush to all gas fittings. Turn each control knob on the front of the grill to the "Off" position, then open the gas supply valve on top of the propane tank. Apply the mixture to each connection from the propane tank up to the manifold pipe assembly and note the presence of any bubbles, which indicate a gas leak. If leaks are present, turn off the gas supply valve and tighten the leaky fitting with a wrench. Repeat the leak test. Contact Kirkland if the problem persists.
- 3). Light the grill and allow it to pre-heat for 15 minutes, then lift the cover and observe the flames. All flames should hold steady and be blue in color. If any flame has a yellow tip, the burners do not have an adequate supply of air, most likely due to a clog. Inspect the burner ports and air shutter for clogs, such as insects, spider webs or dirt. If the problem persists, or if the flame does not hold steady, contact Kirkland.
- 4). Ensure that the wiring is connected to the back of the ignition button if the grill fails to light.
- 5). Clean the wiring behind the ignition button with rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball if the grill still will not light.
- 6). Straighten any kinks or bends in the gas supply line if, after allowing the grill to pre-heat for 15 minutes, the flame level is low when the control knobs are turned to the "High" position.
