Frequently Asked Questions - Sonoma LSMKF LYNX

What type of gas does the Lynx Sonoma LSMKF use?

The Lynx Sonoma LSMKF is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane using a conversion kit (not included).

How do I convert the cooker from natural gas to propane?

Conversion requires a propane orifice kit and adjustment of the regulator. Consult the user manual or a licensed professional for safe conversion.

What are the dimensions of the Lynx Sonoma LSMKF?

The typical dimensions are 36 inches wide, 26 inches deep, and 36 inches high (including backguard). Always verify with the product manual.

How do I clean the stainless steel surfaces?

Use a mild detergent and warm water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a stainless steel cleaner can be used. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.

Can I use the oven while the grill burners are on?

Yes, the oven and burners operate independently. However, ensure adequate ventilation and do not exceed maximum combined load.

What is the warranty on the Lynx Sonoma LSMKF?

Lynx typically offers a 2-year parts and labor warranty for residential use. Commercial use may have a shorter warranty period.

How do I troubleshoot if the burners won't light?

Check the gas supply is on, ensure ignition electrodes are clean and dry, and verify the spark module is working. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

Is the oven self-cleaning?

The oven features a continuous cleaning liner that helps break down spills during normal use. It is not a traditional self-cleaning cycle; manual wipe-down is still needed.

WARNINGS

WARNING

1. Do not open the touch pad containment box as there are no user-serviceable parts inside, and doing so will void all warranties. All other services should be performed by a qualified technician.
2. All gas lines must have a gas shut-off valve that is readily and easily accessible. Be sure you know where the shut-off is located. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an open flame. (See INDEX: "Leak Testing" for further details)

WARNING

1. The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS

1. Massachusetts requires all gas be installed using a plumber or gas fitter carrying the appropriate Massachusetts license.
2. All permanently-installed natural gas or propane installations require a "T" handle type manual gas valve be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.
3. This does not apply to portable propane installations using a 20 pound cylinder.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while smoking. They could ignite.
2. Never touch the smoker racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while smoking.
3. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the smoker. Always open the smoker lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
4. The smoker hood must be fully opened while lighting the smoker. Releasing fuel into a closed smoker before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efficiently. It will only risk explosion and personal injury or death. Never lean over a hot smoker surface or look directly into the smoker when attempting to light.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS...(Continued)

1. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
2. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel anywhere outside of the smoker chip tray.
3. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare ups. Internal fires or damage caused by doing so or by the smoker being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
4. Never smoke without the drip pan in place. Always ensure the drip pan is under the food. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a fire or explosion.
5. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose of it. The drip tray and bottom of the firebox should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
6. Do not use the smoker unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: "Leak Test Procedure" for further details.)
7. Never operate the smoker while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
8. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
9. If the burner does not light or goes out during operation, wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
10. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the LP cylinder after each use.
11. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burner, venturis, valves and orifices of a smoker, disrupting the gas flow. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging the smoker and risking personal injury. If your smoker has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burner, venturis, valves and orifices. (See INDEX: "Cleaning your Lynx Smoker" for further details.)

One way to safely move the smoker off of the pallet is by lifting one end of the smoker high enough to place a ramp under the wheel and then lift the other end while rolling the smoker off of the pallet.

When pushing, lifting, or pulling a freestanding Smoker across gravel, grass, pavers, brick, stone, imperfections in the surface, or wood slatted decks be cautious and move slowly or use a carpet dolly. Failure to do so may damage the structure of the cart which will not be covered under warranty.

INTERIOR PACKING

Lynx uses sturdy tie-down cables and straps to ensure your smoker arrives at your home in the same condition that it left our factory. BE SURE YOU HAVE REMOVED ALL TIE DOWNS BEFORE USING YOUR SMOKER.

• Remove any loose items from the packaging, firebox, and drip tray.
• Ensure that the burner is properly seated on the orifice, level with the floor and firmly secure in the retaining bracket.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS

The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ built-in smoker is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures.

NOTE: Lynx built-in Sonoma Smokers are intended either for installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of non-combustible material or for an installation to a built-in enclosure constructed of combustible material.

The smoker drops into the opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See Page 14: "Gas Connections") and hangs from its counter-top trim. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom.

Pay special attention to the provisions shown for gas-line hookup

The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter should be flat and level. (refer to local codes).

SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION

The guides, measurements and dimensions detailed below are designed to assist you with planning your outdoor kitchen.

NOTE: Due to continuing product innovation, specifications are subject to change without notice.

IMPORTANT: Please reference this Care & Use/Installation manual for details on gas plumbing requirements, electrical specifications and the proper installation of your Lynx outdoor kitchen equipment. An electronic copy of this manual can be downloaded from the Lynx Web site at www.lynxgrills.com.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?

Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects the smoker's performance. (See INDEX: "Gas Supply Line Runs" for further details.)

Proper levelling during installation is critical to the smooth operation of your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™. A smoker that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter's spirit level should be used to level the smoker both front-to-back and side-to-side.

If the floor is uneven or has a pronounced slope, re-leveling may be required each time you move a freestanding Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.

WARNING

NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE SONOMA SMOKER BY LYNX™. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX GRILLS SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR FOR USE WITH YOUR SMOKER. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ is factory set to use either liquid propane or natural gas. It is critical that the gas you use matches that for which the smoker was set up. You can verify this by checking the rating plate.

The rating plate lists serial numbers, model numbers and gas type and is located in one or more of the following places:

• On the back of the Care & Use manual
• On the touch pad containment box

Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the smoker with any gas other than that for which the smoker has been set.

Water Column Requirements:

Fuel	WC Max Inlet	WC Min Under Full Load
NG	10" WC	4" WC
LP	14" WC	11" WC

Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been tuned for the type of gas specified on the rating plate.

GAS CONVERSION KITS

Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx grills to allow the Sonoma Smoker by Lynx ^™ to operate on either natural gas or liquid propane gas. These kits should be installed by a qualified technician.

The kits come with complete installation instructions. These instructions should be read completely and fully.

All installation and all installation parts must conform to local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 70 latest edition and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada.

Canadian installations must conform to CGA-B149.1/.2 natural gas/propane installation code. (Canada)

NATURAL GAS

Lynx Grills recommends that only qualified professionals perform the required plumbing on this product.

To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line.

In no case should pipe less than 3/4" inside diameter or 1" outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.

• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to "INDEX: Gas Supply Line Runs" for allowable run distances for 34 inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the smoker and any other appliances running on that supply line.
• Always keep supply line runs as short as possible. (See INDEX: "BTU Output" for specific model outputs)
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice. Do not use threading compound on any flare fittings.

For built-in installations, it is required that a metal flex hose certified for gas use be used. (See INDEX: "Gas Connections" for typical permanent hook up.) Please ensure all installations conform to local codes.

Keep last two threads clean

Connect to regulator (NG/Hard pipe LP)

For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex gas line.

This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer.

GAS CONNECTIONS...(continued)

Smokers set up for liquid propane gas come equipped with a liquid propane hose/ regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. Liquid propane cylinder (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the smoker are included.

LP cylinder with type 1 valve connection

Permanently plumbed liquid propane connections, such as those in line with a bulk cylinder, require a 4/11 regulator (Lynx P/N 30781) which is available at no charge from Lynx.

graph TD
    A["Cap"] --> B["Gasket"]
    B --> C["Plunger"]
    C --> D["LP Position"]
    D --> E["NAT Position"]
    E --> F["Pressure Regulator"]
    F --> G["End"]

When using the 4/11 regulator, you must ensure that it is set for the proper fuel type. This is done by removing the regulator cap and gasket and looking at the bottom of the plunger to see what fuel type is visible. This is the regulator fuel setting. NAT is for natural gas and LP is for propane gas. The LP setting can be further identified by the large diameter disk on the bottom of the plunger. To change from one gas to the other, simply push the plunger to the side to snap it out of the cap, turn the plunger so it reads the desired gas type on the bottom, and push the plunger until it snaps back into place in the cap and then replace the cap into the regulator.

When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange only for a Type 1 20lb cylinder with an over-fill protection device.

Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.

A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your liquid propane supplier.

WARNING

Do not change the regulator/hose assembly or use any other assembly than the one supplied with your Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.

Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.

Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

If the information above is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS LINE TO THE SMOKER.

Liquid Propane Cylinder Requirements

The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only.

Cylinders of free standing smokers must be secured using the provided cylinder retention system to avoid accidental movement. Make sure the hose between the smoker and the propane bottle does not touch the back or bottom of the firebox.

Cylinder Retention Device

Always check for leaks after every liquid propane cylinder change. (See INDEX: "Leak Test" for further details.)

Always shut off the liquid propane gas supply at the cylinder when the Sonoma Smoker is not in use.

Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. If Your smoker is stored indoors, the liquid propane cylinder must be stored outside.

GAS CONNECTIONS...(continued)

Liquid Propane Connections

Make sure the liquid propane cylinder valve is completely closed. It is possible for the valve to be opened without releasing gas, but as soon as you start connecting the regulator, gas can flow from the connection.

Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counterclockwise. The inlet will then disengage.

Always leak test the connection after refilling or exchanging liquid propane cylinders. (See INDEX: "Leak Test" for further details.)

Connects to portable tank Connects to manifold Liquid Propane regulator for a portable tank

Gas Line Purging

You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the oven.

• Make sure all oven controls are in the "OFF" position.
• Disconnect the line from the manifold. Slowly turn on the main gas supply.

- As soon as you smell gas, shut off the supply

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

Product installation must meet local electrical codes, or in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.

Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.

Do not use this outdoor cooking appliance if it has been submerged underwater without a thorough inspection by a qualified technician.

This smoker is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) electric plug for your protection against shock hazard and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong outlet. Never cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Use only extension cords with a three-prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment and approved for outdoor use with a "W-A" marking.

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the power cord, an extension cord, or any plugs in water or other liquid.

Unplug the product before thorough cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.

Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.

Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Lynx for repair.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS...continued

CONNECTION TO AC POWER

Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent to the Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.

The GFI outlet features an internal break that reduces shock hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free standing unit will be used.

If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have tripped requiring a re-set. See the Troubleshooting section for more details.

Ask your dealer or call Lynx at 888-289-5969 for more information.

LEAK TESTING FINAL CHECK

DANGER!

To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or flame.

Leak Test Procedure:

• Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
• Confirm that all control dials are in the off position.
• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve handle 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.
• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve dial counter clockwise one full rotation.
• Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
• If bubbles appear to "grow" on any of the connections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply.

Fixing a Gas Leak:

• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all smoker controls to the "ON" position to purge the smoker of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back "OFF".
• Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry.
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to REPLACE IT.
• Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure you know where the main gas supply shut-off valve is located.

Finally, for safety and for proper use and care, you must have this manual. Please keep it somewhere safe for future reference.

PRE-SMOKE CHECKLIST

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE

There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your smoker. Please be sure that:

• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the burner. (See INDEX: "Unpacking & Assembly" for further details.)
• You have plugged in the electric cord. (See INDEX: "Electric Requirements" for further details.)

AT EACH NEW SEASON

At the start of each new grilling season you should remove the smoker racks and check the burner, orifice, and valves for obstructions.

Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the smoker and can disrupt airflow, causing damage to the smoker and personal injury.

Also, check all hoses, wires, and fitting for damage, abrasion, wear and tear.

CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH USE (FOR YOUR SAFETY)

Do you smell gas? If yes, shut everything off and call the gas company or a qualified plumber to check for leaks. If not, please continue.

Is your cooking area free and clear of any combustibles besides your food that might ignite? If not, please clear the area before starting the lighting process. If yes, please continue.

If you are using a portable propane cylinder, is it connected and leak tested? If not, check the connection before continuing. If yes, please continue.

Before each use, complete the checklist.

CLEANING YOUR SONOMA SMOKER BY LYNX™

STAINLESS STEEL

Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.

In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the smoker, it is important to take the following steps:

• After each use, wipe down the exterior of the smoker to remove grease and splatters.
- Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the cooking surface clean and ready for use.
- Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces.

Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of effort required.

Part of the appeal of your Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ is the fine grain finish. When removing stubborn stains:

• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel and high heat; be sure to read the label before using on your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake onto the surface, giving the appearance of rust.

To remove these baked on foods, use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.

Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will attack stainless steel. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use of such chemicals near your smoker.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS:

The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of a Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx ^™ is highly rust resistant, however chlorine in the air from swimming pools or salt in the sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.

Close-up of a medical or electronic device with a stylus and signal wave elements (no text or symbols visible)

Here are a few tips to avoid this:

Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth (Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very well.)

Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp smoker.

In extreme environments, apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the smoker. Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCl™) protect the surface very well.

For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the smoker is dry and then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.

THE LYNX LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST RUST-THROUGH OF PARTS THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

After your first use, certain areas of the smoker may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burner – this is normal and cannot be cleaned off.

For light and heavy food stains there are many different stainless steel cleaners available.

There will be darkening on the inside of the smoker which is normal. This can be cleaned off with an interior oven cleaning product.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SONOMA SMOKER BY LYNX™

SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING

If you smell gas while the smoker is operating, immediately turn off the burner and shut off the main fuel supply.

• Perform a leak test. (See INDEX: "Leak Test procedure" for further details)
• Check for blockages.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Please check a few things before calling for service:

• Is there fuel supplied to the smoker?
• Is the main shut off valve open?
- Are you using the correct type of fuel (Liquid propane or natural gas)
- Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently refilled the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection tight?
• Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder?
• Is the smoker plugged in to a live electric circuit?
- Has the GFI outlet tripped requiring a reset?

PROBLEMS WITH WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

If you do not have at least a 60% signal on your smart device while standing at your smoker, your smoker will not perform optimally. Here are some suggestions for improving your network:

Position your wireless router, modem router, or access point in a central location. The best place for a Wi-Fi router is in the center of your home.

• The distance between your router and your Sonoma Smoker should not exceed 50 ft.
• Verify that there are no obstacles between your Sonoma Smoker and the router.
• Appliances, metal objects, cordless phones, stone walls, fireplaces, etc. decrease Wi-Fi strength.
• Check the cable that connects the modem to the router to make sure it is in good condition. If not, replace the cable.
• Replace your router antenna with a Hi-Gain wireless antenna. They boost the signal strength and aim the signal in one direction.
• The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ will perform better with an N router.
• Reduce wireless interferences by using devices that communicate via the 5.0 GHz frequency

instead of the more common 2.4 GHz frequency (same frequency as baby monitors, garage door openers, cordless phones, microwave ovens).

- iPhone 5, 5C, 6, or newer, iPad version 2.0 or newer or Android 4.4 operating system or newer

Add a wireless repeater

A wireless repeater is a device that extends your wireless network's range without requiring you to add any wiring. Place the repeater halfway between your wireless router and your Sonoma Smoker to get an instant boost in your wireless strength.

For additional troubleshooting of wireless connections, contact your local Wi-Fi installation expert.

Refer to "Quick Start Guide" for connection details.

TROUBLESHOOTING...continued

SMOKER WILL NOT LIGHT

First, confirm that the smoker is getting electricity by checking the light or the touch pad of your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.

Check the Igniters

Your Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx ^™ uses an electric spark ignition system.

• Your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ can be deactivated by pressing the POWER ON/OFF switch located on the left hand side of the smoker.
  • The igniter is clearly visible inside the smoker, look for a spark.
  • If it does not spark, call Lynx for service at 888-289-5969.

Check the regulator.

Make sure that the regulator and hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied with your Lynx smoker and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See INDEX: "Regulator Conversion" for further details.)

The hose and regulator provided by Lynx Grills must be used if your smoker is set up for use with a liquid propane gas cylinder. If using hard –piped LP contact Lynx for a free hard-pipe regulator.

Check that there is no physical pressure being applied to the regulator attached to the back of the smoker. The regulator contains a flexible diaphragm and should not be allowed to touch the smoker body or its surroundings.

Check for obstructions.

Ensure that the burner is clean and free from obstructions.

Liquid Propane Units:

Is the cylinder almost empty?

Almost empty cylinders may not have sufficient pressure to run the burner at high heat.

Have the line pressure checked by a qualified technician.

Flow limiting device?

Improper lighting procedure may have activated the liquid propane cylinder's flow control device, reducing heat output.

Sonoma Smoker By Lynx™ Care & Use P/N 35948 Page 26

if this should occur..

Turn the gas tank valve clockwise to off.

Release the pressure to the tank regulator by partially removing the hose connection. You should hear a hiss as the pressure releases. Reconnect the regulator and SLOWLY open the tank valve. This will reset the tank flow control.

Bulk Liquid Propane Cylinder Users:

Bulk liquid propane cylinder lines must be properly regulated.

Ensure that you are using a 4/11 appliance regulator supplied by Lynx and converted to liquid propane gas. Also, ensure that you do not have more than one regulator in line.

Natural Gas Units:

• Supply line

Ensure that the supply line is at least 34 " inside diameter or 1" outside diameter.

- Check Line pressure

Natural gas inlet pressure should be at least 5" W.C. and manifold pressure not less than 4" W.C.

• Check burner for blockages.

LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT

Proper levelling during installation is critical. A smoker that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and

inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter's spirit level should be used to level the smoker both front-to-back and side-to-side.

If the low heat problem persists:

- Check the gas supply line sizing requirements.

- Check the gas supply line for kinks or damage.

LIGHTS WILL NOT LIGHT

- Check power

Ensure that the smoker is connected to a live AC power source, or the GFCI outlet has not been tripped.
