Cooking Grates
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and the flames have been
turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from heat and steam.
Scrub the hot cooking grates by dipping a bristled barbeque brush in tap water. Cleaning will be more
difficult if the grill is allowed to cool.
Grease Pan
The grease pan should be emptied, wiped down and washed after each use with a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Check the grease pan frequently and do not allow excess grease to accumulate and
flow out of the grease pan.
Grill Burners
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner. It must be correctly centered on the orifice before
any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and beneath the
valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the “OFF” position and the burners
have cooled.

To remove the main burners for cleaning:
B
1. Locate the burner screw at the rear of the firebox.
2. Remove the screw and lift the burner out of the firebox.
To clean the grill burners:
1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.
Use a metal scraper for stubborn stains or debris.
2. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off
and clog the port.
3. Check and clean burners / venture tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath,
and behind the main control panel.
To reinstall the main burners:
1. Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve (part# 15 on Page 28.
2. Make sure the orifice stud (A) is inside the burner venture (B) as shown in Fig. 28.
3. Align the burner screw hole with the firebox hole, insert screw and tighten.
Flame Characteristics
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
excessive noise, or lifting as shown in Fig. 29. The following steps should be followed for correcting the
flame characteristics:
1. Turn the control knobs and Liquid Propane Cylinder valves “OFF.”
2. Allow the grill and burners to cool.
3. If the flame is yellow (not enough air), turn the adjustment screw found at the front of the burner
counterclockwise.
4. If the flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner (too much air), turn the adjustment screw
clockwise.
5. If these adjustments do not correct the problem, contact customer service at 1-800-913-8999 in
USA and 1-800-648-5864 in Canada.
