BURNER
TUBE
Clean burner tubes using one of the following three
ways:
1. Bend a stiff wire into a small hook. Run the hook
through the burner tube several times.
2. Use a narrow bottle brush with flexible handle and
run through burner tubes several times. DO NOT
use a wire brush.
3. Wear eye protection then use an air hose to force
air into the burner tube and out through the burner
port. Clean any clogged port with an opened paper
clip.
 Once burner tube is clear of debris, use a wire brush
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts could
create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
When cleaning the inside of the firebox hood and grill
bottom, use a strong solution of detergent and water with
a scrub brush to clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air
dry. NEVER use a caustic grill cleaner on painted or cook-
ing surfaces.
All plastic parts, stainless-steel and painted surfaces,
should be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry.
Cooking surfaces should be cleaned with a bristle brush
only. Check that no loose bristles remain on the cooking
grates prior to using.
Cooking grates:
 Clean before and after each use with a stiff wire brush.
Port shields:
 Scrape any build-up off the port shields using a wire
brush.
Grease:
 After use, allow the grease in the cup to cool then
empty into the garbage.

Empty after each use to avoid spillage and flare ups.
CLEANING BURNER ASSEMBLY AND CHECKING
VENTURI FOR INSECTS
See Figures 22 - 23.
DANGER:
Failure to clean the burner assembly and
check the venturi as described can result in a fire or
explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
Burner should be cleaned when the grill has been idle
for some time. In some parts of the country, spiders and
other insects can spin webs, build nests, and lay eggs in
the venturi blocking gas flow and causing fire in the tubes
known as “flashback”. Flashback can damage the grill
and even cause injury.

Turn control knob to OFF ( O ). Allow grill to cool
completely.
NOTE:
To lock the control knob in the off position, turn
the control knob to LOCK ( ).

Remove the LP gas cylinder.

Pull electrode wire from the electronic ignitor.

Remove the wing nuts securing the burner to the
firebox.

Lift burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
