Frequently Asked Questions - BH1-36R-L DCS

Why won't the burners light when I turn the dial?

Ensure the dial is pushed in while turning to SEAR/MAX. Check that the gas supply is turned on. The burner inlet or tube may be blocked; remove and clean. If the ignitor does not click, replace the 9V battery.

Why is the burner flame yellow/orange?

The burner needs adjustment. Refer to the installation guide for air shutter adjustment.

Why does the grill keep having flare-ups?

Grease on radiant trays or the sear burner can cause flare-ups. Let cool, then rotate ceramic rods and heat on HI for 10–20 minutes to burn off residue.

Why can I smell gas?

If a burner dial is ON but not lit, turn it OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting. If gas persists, perform a leak test with soapy water on all connections.

Why isn't the grill getting hot on HI/SEAR?

Preheat for a full 10 minutes. Wind can affect performance; move to a sheltered area. Check LP cylinder level and ensure the flow limiting device is not activated. Clean burner ports if blocked.

Why is there smoke coming from the grill?

Residue or grease on the grates or radiant trays. Brush grates while hot, and allow residue on trays to burn off during cooking.

Why isn't the rotisserie staying lit when I release the safety valve button?

You may be releasing the safety valve button too soon. Press and hold it until the burner remains lit after release.

Why isn't the rotisserie rotating?

Check that the motor is switched on and plugged into a GFI outlet. Ensure the rod is correctly inserted into the motor and balanced on the rollers. Remove any obstruction, and verify food is centered.

Why isn't the rotisserie light working?

The bulb may be blown. Replace with a 50W max halogen narrow bulb. Disconnect power before replacing.

How do I clean the grill burners?

Turn off gas supply. Remove grates and radiant trays, then unscrew clamps and lift burners out. Shake debris, use a safety pin to unblock inlet and ports, then refit securely.

Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit. Avoid using the rotisserie in windy conditions.

Tying meat and poultry

Use butcher string or dental floss to tie meat and poultry before putting them on the rotisserie rod.

We recommend selecting a roast that is a consistent size and tying it in three areas to ensure even cooking. For poultry, tie the wings and legs to the body to secure them while the rotisserie is turning.

Why won't the burners light when I turn the dial?

• Dial not pushed in when attempting to light grill. Push and turn to SEAR/MAX. See 'Using the grill.'
  • Gas supply is turned off. Turn gas on.
• Burner inlet or tube may be blocked. Remove burner and check for blockages. See 'Cleaning the grill burners', 'Cleaning the sear burner' or 'Cleaning the side burners.' If problem persists, call Customer Care or your Authorized Service Center.
• Ignitor battery is flat or ignitor has failed. Check if ignitor clicks when you push dial. If not, replace battery. See 'Replacing the light and battery.' If problem persists, call Customer Care or your Authorized Service Center.

Why does the grill keep having flare-ups?

• Radiant trays have grease on them. Wait for trays to cool, then rotate ceramic rods and heat on HI for 10-20 minutes. See 'Cleaning.'
• Sear burner has grease on it. See 'Cleaning the sear burner.'
• Rotisserie burner has grease on it. See 'Cleaning.'

Why can I smell gas?

• Burner dial is on but burner is not lit. Check the dial is turned to OFF. Wait 5 minutes before relighting. See 'Using the grill.'
  • Gas is leaking. See 'Leak testing.'

Why isn't grill getting hot on HI/SEAR?

• Grill hasn't preheated enough. Preheat for full 10 minutes before cooking.

  • LP gas cylinder is empty. Check cylinder, and get it refilled if empty.
• A burner port is obstructed. See 'Cleaning the grill burners', 'Cleaning the sear burner' or 'Cleaning the side burners.
• 'Flow Limiting Device is activated on LP cylinder. See 'Resetting flow limiting device.'

Why is there smoke coming from the grill?

Residue or grease on the grates or radiant trays. Brush residue off the grates with a grill brush. Residue on radiant trays should burn off during the cook. See 'Cleaning.'

Why isn't the rotisserie staying lit when I release the safety valve button? (some models only)

Releasing button too soon. Keep pressing the safety valve button until the rotisserie burner stays lit.

Why isn't the rotisserie rotating? (some models only)

• Motor is off. Check that motor is switched on and plugged into a GFI outlet. Reset if tripped.
• Rod not inserted correctly. Check the rod is inserted correctly in the motor and balanced on the rollers at the side of grill. See 'Using the rotisserie'.
• Something is blocking it. Check that secondary cooking rack is not preventing rotisserie from turning. Check food is tied correctly and is centered and balanced on the rod. If not, switch motor off and turn burner to LOW while you readjust the food.
