Questions
about Gas flow indicator red.

Can I clear Gas flow indicator red myself?
After cooking, check that every indicator has gone back to blue. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why is one Fire Magic knob showing red after I turned it off?
Either the knob is not fully at OFF or the valve is not closing. Close the gas at the tank or shutoff and have the valve checked before using the grill.
Do all Fire Magic grills have the red and blue indicator?
The Echelon Diamond and Aurora manuals both describe it. Check your own manual or the knob faces if your model is older.
Does the red indicator on a Fire Magic mean the burner is lit?
It means gas is flowing to that burner. A burner that did not light can still show red, which is why Fire Magic says to turn it off and wait five minutes after a failed lighting.
