stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appearance of rust. To

GREASE CUP
The grease cup should be emptied, wiped down periodically, then washed with a
mild detergent and warm water solution. Check the grease cup frequently. Don’t
allow excess grease to accumulate and overflow the grease cup.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner, as it must be correctly
centered on the orifice before an attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner
tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction
that could result in a fire in
and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as flashback and can cause
serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most
common cause. To reduce the chance of flashback, you must clean the burner
tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or
early fall when spiders are most active. Also, perform this burner tube cleaning
procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the
following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
