General GrillCleaning
Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner
to painted surfaces.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to
completely air dry.
CAUTION
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety
reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury
may result. If a grease fire develops, turn regulator
control knob and LP cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HIGH. If grill has not
been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that
may damage the product.
CAUTION
FACT:
into the burner tubes attached to the burner. The
spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The
webs or nests can be very small, but they
are very strong and can block the flow
of gas. Clean burner prior to use after
storing, at the beginning of grilling season
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
or after a period of one month not being used.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to
reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An
obstruction can result in a "flashback" (a fire in the
burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction
does not allow full gas flow to the burner.
Smell gas.
Burner(s) will not light.
A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
Follow the “

Clean burner often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out
the burner tube. You may also force a stream of water
from a hose nozzle through burner tube to clean them.
