Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of 

burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. 

Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2.  Remove cooking grates and emitters.
3.  Remove carryover tubes.
4.  Detach electrode from burner.

5.   Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve 

openings.

 

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 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. 

6.   Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
     residue and dirt.
7.   Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open 

paper clip.

8.   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 re-engage valve 

openings.  See illustration below.

9.   Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11.  Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. 

Replace emitters and cooking grates.  

 

Storing Your appliance

•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When gas cylinder is connected to appliance, store 

outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach 
of children.

•Cover appliance if stored outdoors.

•Store appliance indoors ONLY if gas cylinder is turned 

off and disconnected, removed from appliance and 

stored outdoors.

•When removing appliance from storage check for burner 

obstructions.

General appliance Cleaning 

•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 appliance cleaner with scrub brush on 

insides of appliance lid and bottom.  Rinse and allow 

to completely air dry.  

Do not apply caustic 

appliance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• 

Plastic parts: 

Wash with warm soapy water and wipe 

dry.

 

Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a 
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts.  
Damage to and failure of parts can result.

•Porcelain surfaces: 

Because of glass-like 

composition, most residue can be wiped away with 
baking soda/water solution or specially formulated 
cleaner.  Use nonabrasive scouring powder for 
stubborn stains.

•Painted surfaces: 

Wash with mild detergent or 

nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.  Wipe 
dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: 

To maintain your 

appliance’s high quality appearance, wash with mild 
detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with 
a soft cloth after each use.  Baked-on grease 
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic 
cleaning pad.  Use only in direction of brushed finish 
to avoid damage.  Do not use abrasive pad on 
areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces:

 If a bristle brush is used to clean 

any of the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no 
loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to 
grilling.  It is not recommended to clean cooking 
surfaces while appliance is hot.

Clean appliance often, preferably after each 

cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the 

appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles 

remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling.  It is not 

recommended to clean cooking surface while 

appliance is hot.

appliance should be cleaned at least once a year.

IF APPLIANCE FAILS TO LIGHT

Make sure gas is turned on at cylinder.
Make sure there is gas in the cylinder.

Does the ignitor make a sparking Noise?
If yes check for spark at burner.
If no spark check for damaged or loose wires.
If wires are OK check for cracked or broken electrode, 
replace if needed.
If wire or electrodes are covered by cooking residue, 
clean electrode tip with alcohol wipe if needed.
If needed replace wires.

If no sound check battery.  
Make sure battery is installed correctly.
Check for loose wire connection at module and switch.

If ignitor continues to not work then use match. 

Leak Testing Barb, Hose and 
Regulator

1. Turn all appliance control knobs to        .
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to gas 

cylinder.

3. Turn on Gas.  If you hear a 

rushing sound

, turn 

gas off immediately.  There is a major leak at 
the connection.  Correct before proceeding.

4. Brush soapy solution (mixture of half soap and 

half water) onto hose connections.

Leak test before first use, at least once a 

year and every time the cylinder is 

changed or disconnected.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER 

If your barbecue is getting hard to light or the 
flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and 
burners.

Spiders or small insects are known to create 
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying 
eggs in the barbecue’s venturi or burner 
obstructing the flow of gas. The backed-up gas 
can ignite behind the control panel. This 
flashback can damage your barbecue and cause 
injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good 
performance, the burner and venturi tube 
assembly should be removed and cleaned 
whenever the barbecue has been idle for an 
extended period of time. 

Turn controls and gas cylinder off when not in use.
