Q: My Solaire Portable Infrared Grill does not get hot when attached to a 20 lb tank with the adapter hose. What should I do?
A: If using an adapter hose to connect to a full size tank, is the hose a Solaire part? Some adapter hoses from other sources do not allow sufficient gas flow for the Solaire Infrared burner to operate properly. The proper part number is SOL-SAHOSE6 and is available on our online website store at: www.rasmussen.biz The green screw-on adapter has the following markings:
M.B. Sturgis
204 050
200k BTUH
250 PSI Max
An adapter without these marking may be different internally which reduces the gas flow needed to sufficiently power a Solaire Portable Grill.
Why will my propane grill not light or deliver gas?
One common cause of a propane grill not lighting or delivering gas is activation of the regulator’s excess-flow safety device. The regulator contains a safety mechanism designed to restrict gas flow after a sudden rush of gas.
Reset the excess-flow safety device as follows:
- Close the propane-tank valve.
- Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder.
- Gently tap the regulator into the palm of your hand to free the internal safety device.
- Reconnect the regulator.
- Slowly open the propane-tank valve.
Also confirm that the electronic igniter is producing its normal clicking sound and that its battery has adequate power.
