Heat Separators, Flame Tamers, Grilling and Warming Racks
To clean (should clean after each use), turn the main burners on HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood
closed. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components with a stainless steel
bristle brush to remove any remaining charred materials.
Cast Stainless Steel Burners
The appliance must be completely cooled before proceeding. Make sure the gas supply is off and all control
knobs are in the “OFF” position. You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners
in the appliance. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin accessible from the back of the grill head.
Remove cotter pins (unless they were removed prior to installation into an outdoor kitchen). To remove burner, pull
rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for each burner. To clean the burners, use a
wire brush to clean the exterior of the burner. Free all clogged ports of obstructions with a small metal object. Clean
out any debris through the air shutter and inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is free of any obstructions. Use a rod
or pipe cleaner to remove any debris within the burner if necessary.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and
any
other burner, which causes the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the burner and
making the burner unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners
before each use. Symptoms of insect nests can include any
of the following conditions:
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing
yellow.
2) The burner does not reach temperature.
3)
The burner heats
unevenly.
4)
The burner makes popping noises.
NOTE:
Make sure each burner is properly placed after cleaning. It is very important to ensure the end of the
burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows safely into the burner. Failure to meet
these conditions can cause dangerous conditions that can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
