BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
•
Although your burner is constructed of brass and cast iron, it may corrode as a result of the extreme
heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and other
signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
•
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the
burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the side burner. To clean the Burner

trouble igniting the side burner.

the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air
