Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of each burner until free of food residue
and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of
the grill and disrupt gas flow. This very dangerous
condition could cause a fire behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe
for operation. Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
!
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a new
burner. After installation check to ensure that gas
valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of
the burner tubes.
