DCS Gas Grills Burner flame is yellow or orange, in conjunction with the odour of gas

If you notice that the flames on your DCS gas grill are yellow or orange, and you also smell gas, this is a serious safety hazard. It is important to take immediate action to resolve the issue.

There are a few possible causes of this problem, including:

• A dirty or clogged burner: If the burner is not properly cleaned, it can prevent the gas from burning properly, resulting in a yellow or orange flame.
• A faulty igniter: If the igniter is not working properly, it can prevent the gas from igniting, also resulting in a yellow or orange flame.
• A leak in the gas line: A leak in the gas line can allow gas to escape, which can cause a yellow or orange flame and a gas odor.

Solutions

The first step is to turn off the gas supply to the grill. Once the gas is turned off, you can begin troubleshooting the problem.

If the burner is dirty or clogged, you can try cleaning it with a wire brush or a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your grill.

If the igniter is faulty, you will need to replace it. You can purchase a replacement igniter from a home improvement store or from the DCS website.

If there is a leak in the gas line, you will need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

It is important to take the following safety precautions when troubleshooting this problem:

• Always wear gloves and eye protection when working on your grill.
• Do not attempt to repair the grill if you are not comfortable doing so.
• If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply and evacuate the area.

You can help to prevent this problem by following these tips:

• Clean your grill regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Inspect the gas lines regularly for leaks.
• Have your grill inspected by a qualified appliance repair technician annually.
