Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong Burner life.
1.
2.
3.
Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface
of each Burner until free of food residue and dirt.
Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new Burner. After installation, check to insure that
the Gas Valve Orifices are correctly placed inside
the ends of the Burner Tubes. Also check the
position of your Spark Electrode.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the Orifice is inside of the
Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2
. If the burner tube does not fit over
the Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner may
cause explosion and/or fire.
WARNING
!
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times
to remove any debris.
Use a Burner Cleaning Brush or a bottle
brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush
through the Burner Tube and inside the
Burner several times, removing any debris.
Use an air hose to force air through each
Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the Burner
and out the ports.
Cleaning The Burner Tubes
and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" you must
clean the Burner Tubes at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active or
when your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP gas Tank Valve to the full OFF position.
Detach the LP gas Hose and Regulator Assembly
from your gas grill or disconnect the Quick Discon-
nect Hose from the Natural Gas source.
Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers, and
Grease Trays from your grill.
Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the gas
Valve Orifice.
