BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
•
Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
•
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
•
Visually check burner fl ames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and
Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
•
For safe grilling and peak performance of your griddle, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended
periods of storage.
•
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION:
Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
•
Remove the cooking griddle and burners from inside your griddle. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove
excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all
components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE:
•
Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel,
they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids
from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks,
abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found,
replace the burner.
•
DO NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back or cart
compartment of griddle. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner
tubes can prevent gas fl ow to the burners and could result in a
burner tube fi re or fi re beneath the griddle. To clean the Burner
Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts
of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the griddle.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking griddle.
3. Remove cotter pin from each burner post.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook
to run through each burner tube or use compressed air to blow
into burner tube and out the fl ame ports. Check each port to
make sure air comes out each hole.
CAUTION:
Wear eye protection when using compressed air.
6. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
