REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 26)
Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole. Be careful
not to upset the air shutters original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into
the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and does not
rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are necessary,
refer to (pages 16-17). Do this prior to cooking on the grill.
CAUTION:
It is extremely important to center the burner on the orifice properly.
WARNING:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to
flow from the front of the burner.This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to
operate.
GRILL GRATES
Grill grates are made of non rusting 304 stainless steel, the easiest way to clean the grill grates is
immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to pro-
tect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a fine bristle brass barbeque brush in tap water and
scrub the hot grill grates. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water con-
tacts the hot grill grates, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles
will fall onto the hot radiant tray and burn or fall into the drip tray. If the grill grates are allowed to
cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult. Another effective grill grate cleaning method:
Running grates through dishwasher cycle after majority of grease and large debris removed.
DRIP PAN
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the grill section and boil overs and spills from the
power burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean grease from
the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
CERAMIC TUBES
It is not necessary to remove the ceramic tubes for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the
next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic tubes need to be turned over, and
shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of
food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the ceramic tubes. If grease can be seen on
the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over
and heated on “HIGH” for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil.
SIDE BURNER GRATES
The side burner grates are porcelain enamel over cast iron for durability. To avoid burns do not clean a
hot grate.They may be wiped while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry.
• Never immerse a hot grate in water. Due to rapid temperature changes the porcelain may pop off
the edges of the grates. Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast iron, soon darkens to blend with
the porcelain enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the enamel has popped off.The edges may be
sharp. If cleaning necessitates grate removal, care should be taken in lifting them. They are very heavy.
Be sure to place them on a protected surface.
