Drip Tray
Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance has cooled
completely, remove the tray by pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy water and
replace ensuring the tray is installed completely in the grill housing. If using an oven cleaning agent, be sure to
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage to the stainless steel.
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.
