WHICH BATTERY DO I NEED FOR MY GRILL?
Back to OSS | GASGRILL
If you have a grill with a SureFire® or electronic ignition and/or LED lighting, you will need batteries here. You can see which battery you need for your ignition on the cover of the battery compartment or on the ignition button. It says in the "fine print" whether you need an AA or an AAA battery. In general, however, you always need 4 AA batteries for the LED lighting, which must be inserted in the separate compartment. Batteries for the ignition are always inserted with the positive pole pointing towards you.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUREFIRE® AND ELECTRONIC IGNITION?
With SureFire® ignition, each burner is equipped with an electrode, so that it is possible to choose variably which burner is ignited. With electronic ignition, only one burner can be ignited, the others must be switched on in sequence.
WHAT IS THE SILVER CHAIN ON THE SIDE OF MY GRILL FOR?
<div class="article-copy">
This is a match holder in case the electronic ignition fails. You can then stick a match into the small ring, light it and ignite burners through the hole on the side. Here's a little guide: Please don't use a lighter to light the grill and don't lean over the grill while you're lighting it.
<br/><br/>
<ul>
<li>Turn gas burner control valves to O (off)</li>
<li>Open the lid during lighting or re-lighting</li>
<li>Turn on the gas on the gas bottle</li>
<li>Place the match in the match holder (hangs on the side panel of the grill)</li>
<li>Strike the match, then light the burner by inserting the match through the match hole on the side of the grill</li>
<li>Immediately press and turn the burner control knob to the high position. Make sure the burner burns and stays lit</li>
<li>Light the adjacent burners in turn by turning the knobs to the HIGH position as well.</li>
</ul>

WHY WON'T MY GAS GRILL LIGHT?
<div class="article-copy">There are many reasons as to why your gas grill isn't lighting. Make sure to check the burners, ignition battery, electrode wires and the propane tank.
<h2>Check the burners</h2>
Check that the grill burner is engaged with the control panel, and make sure your valves are positioned inside the burner tubes.
If your grill won't light, it could be because you're lighting the wrong burner. See instructions on the control panel of your grill and in your manual.
The grill burners could be blocked if your grill doesn't light. Pests, spider webs or other debris could be blocking them.
<h2>Check the battery</h2>
Make sure that the ignition batter is not dead. If it is, you'll need to replace your igniter battery. Make sure the battery is correctly positioned. Follow the instructions in your manual.
Check to make sure that the battery electrodes are not wet, oxidized or slightly corroded. You may need to remove battery and clean off electrodes with dry cloth or with alcohol wipe. Reinstall battery.
<h2>Check the electrode wires</h2>
Make sure that the electrode wires are connected properly. Reconnect the wires or replace the electrode wire assembly.
Make sure that the electrode tip is in the right position. The electrode should be pointing toward the gas port opening on a burner. The distance should be 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. Adjust as necessary.
If your grill won't light, it could be because you have dirty electrode terminals. Clean them with rubbing alcohol and a clean cotton swab. If your grill is not lighting, are you seeing sparks at your electrodes? If so, you may have a damaged electrode. You will need to replace it.
<h2>Check the propane tank</h2>
Make sure the propane tank is connected to the grill properly. If your grill isn't connected correctly, you could have trouble lighting it. Make sure the coupling nut and propane tank cylinder valve are fully connected. Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters additional turn until a solid stop. Tighten by hand only. Do not use tools or you could strip the threads.</div>
