Flames blow out	·High or gusting winds ·Gas in LP cylinder is low.	·Turn front of grill away from wind or increase flame height. ·Check LP gas cylinder. Replace if necessary.
Persistent grease fire	·Grease trapped in bowl and around burner system.	·Turn regulator knob OFF. Let fire burn out and remove grid plate. After the grill cools, clean all parts.
Humming or whistling from the regulator	·Outside temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and the gas level within the tank may cause the rubber diaphragm inside the regulator to vibrate, making a humming or whistling sound.	·Although this sound may be alarming, this is NOT dangerous as long as it is not accompanied by the smell of gas. Simply adjust the burner settings and usually the sound will subside. If the humming sound persists, a change in atmospheric conditions will eventually stop the vibration. Should you smell gas, do not use the grill and call Customer Service at 1-800-231-0786.
Low flame or low heat	·Gas in LP cylinder is low.	·Check LP gas cylinder. Replace if necessary.
