Troubleshooting
Unit does not ignite
Ensure the gas cylinder is connected correctly and the valve is open. Check that the piezo ignition is functional; if not, manual ignition with a long lighter can be attempted. Make sure no other burners are active.
Uneven heat distribution
Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Check that the cooking surface is seated correctly. For persistent issues, the burner may require cleaning or inspection.
Low gas flow or flame output
Verify the gas cylinder is not empty. Check for kinks or blockages in the gas hose. Ensure the regulator is functioning correctly.
Fat pan overflowing
Ensure the fat pan is correctly positioned and not overfilled with food. Do not cook excessively fatty foods that produce large amounts of drippings at once.
