Burner removal
To remove the burners (see photos):
1. Remove the burner clip.
2. Lift the burner upwards.
3. Gently pull the burner mouth away from the valve injector.
4. Lift the burner out.
To re-install the burners (not depicted):
1. Slide the burner mouth over the valve injector. The injector should sit centrally within the burner venturi tube.
2. Lower the burner into the body.
3. Insert the locating stud through the support.
Lock into place by inserting the burner clip through the stud.

Your burners have been preset for optimal flame performance. You will normally see a blue flame, possibly
with a small yellow tip when the burner is alight. If the flame pattern is significantly yellow, this could be a
problem caused by grease from cooking blocking the burner or spiders or other insects in the burner venturi.
This can result in the flow of the gas and air mixture being restricted or blocked which may result in a fire
behind the control panel causing serious damage to your barbecue.
If this happens, the gas should be
immediately turned off at the bottle.

Burners should be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis in addition to the following conditions:
1. Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
2. One or more of the burners do not ignite.
3. The burner flame pattern is significantly yellow.
4. The gas ignites behind the control panel.

To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue. It is quite normal for a cast iron burner to rust. The outside
of the burner can be cleaned with a wire brush.
•
Clean the portholes with a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. Take care not to enlarge the portholes.
•
Clean the insect screen on the end of the venturi tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
•
Clean the venturi tube with a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. You may need a torch to see into the venturi tube
to make sure it is clear. You will see a pin inside the tube which is part of the burner assembly.
•
Turn the burner up on end and lightly tap against a piece of wood to dislodge any debris from inside.
