Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A)
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.
(B)
Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection:
Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7.
Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
8.
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
9.
Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations at right.
10. Attach electrode to burner.
11. Carefully replace burners.
12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach
to burners. Replace troughs and
cooking grates.

SPIDER ALERT!

INSIDE VENTURI
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the venturi’s.
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind
the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage
your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
