CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
16
Proper care and maintenance will keep your side burner in top
operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning
procedures on a timely basis and your side burner will stay
clean and operate with minimum effort.
CAUTION:
Be sure your side burner is OFF and cool before
cleaning.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve
the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless
steel. The fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust and
discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when
regular steel particles in the atmosphere become at-
tached to the stainless steel surface. Steel particles can
also become attached to your side burner if you use steel
wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the side burner instead
of non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon cleaning tools. In
coastal areas rust pits can develop on stainless surfaces
that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine
based solutions used for household and pool cleaning
can also cause corrosion to stainless steel. Weathering,
extreme heat, smoke from cooking and machine oils used
in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause
stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many
factors which can affect the surface appearance of stain-
less steel, they do not affect the integrity of the steel or the
performance of the side burner.
To help maintain the finish of stainless steel follow these
cleaning tips for the best results:
After every use (after your side burner has cooled down),
wipe stainless surfaces with a soft, soapy cloth or sponge
then rinse with water. Be sure to remove all food par-
ticles, sauces or marinades from stainless steel because
these can be highly acidic and damaging to stainless
surfaces.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers or stiff wire
brushes of any type on your side burner.
Use a heat resistant Stainless Steel Cleaner and rub or
wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain or polish
lines. Do not polish against the grain.

Cleaning The Grease Tray
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Tray should be
visually inspected before each side burner use. Re-
move any grease and wash Grease Tray with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning the Inside of the Side Burner Lid
Visually inspect the inside of the Side Burner Lid before
each side burner use. Remove any grease and wash
with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Routine Cleaning of The Side Burner Interior
At least every 3 months, you must give your entire side
burner a thorough cleaning to minimize your risk of
grease fire and keep the side burner in top shape.
Turn all Burner Knobs to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect the
hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any
other damage, and replace as neccessary. Refer to the
Parts List in this Operator's Manual.
Remove and clean the Pot Support.
Brush the inside and bottom of the side burner with a
fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and
warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The
space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Burner
