MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 23
BURNER MAINTENANCE
To reduce the chance of “ FLASH-BACK’ the procedure below should be followed
at least once a month in late summer or early autumn when spiders are most
active or when your BBQ has not been used for a period of time. The procedure
is as follows:
Turn all burners’ valves to the full OFF position.
Turn the LPG cylinder valve (clockwise) to the full OFF position.
Detach the regulator assembly from the LPG cylinder.
Remove the warming rack, cast iron grill, hotplate and drip tray from your
grill.
Remove all burners from the bottom of the grill by unscrewing the screw at
the end of the burner using a phillips head screwdriver.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice, as seen
below.
To clean the inside of the removed burner, multiple methods can be used,
such as:
a. Bending a stiff wire (such as a coat hanger) into a hook (seen below)
b. Using a bottle brush with a flexible handle
c. Using an air hose
Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free
of food residue, and dirt, as well as using a thin object to unclog ports
Inspect each burner after installation, check to ensure that the gas valve
orifices are correctly placed inside the end of the burner tubes.
