Porcelain Cast Iron Burners
Burners need to be cleaned periodically. Take each
burner out of the BBQ and brush it down very carefully using
a brass bristle brush (Use care on Porcelainized Coated
Burners - do not damage enamel coating). Make sure every
port hole is open. If the holes are obstructed, they may be
cleaned using an open paper clip or small drill bit (#31 drill
size) on a drill.
Use a fine tooth hacksaw blade or sharp knife to clean
out cross over slot on bottom of burner ( Figure 19 ). Tap the
open end of burner gently on a hard surface to dislodge any
rust, etc. inside.
To visually check that the burner is operating, look at the
burner flame between the tray and BBQ frame. The flame
should be approximately 1/2"-3/4" long with the high setting
(
Figure 20 ).

CAUTION: BEWARE
OF FLASHBACK
CAUTION: Spiders and small
insects occasionally spin webs
or make nests in the grill burner
tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead
to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and
around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as a
”FLASHBACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill
and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
”FLASHBACK”, it is the most common cause. To reduce the
chance of ”FLASHBACK”, you must clean the burner tubes
before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in
late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also
perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has
not been used for an extended period of time. A venturi tube
cleaner should be used to clean the venturi section (
Fig.20 ).
Stainless Burners (Elite Turbo models)
Should be rotated every 6 months. See section on
“Flashback” in his page.
Stainless Steel Hood (Elite Turbo models)
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in
the direction of the grain. To touch-up noticeable scratches,
sand very lightly with 100 grit sand paper in the direction of
the grain. Specks of grease which gather on the surfaces of
the grill may give the appearance of rust, these may be
removed using a scotch-brite pad in conjunction with a good
stainless cleaner. Remember to rub in the direction of the
grain.
