CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1.
CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL
• To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the
tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount
of gas in your tank; if ¾ empty, replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material
will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
2.
BURNER COMPONENTS
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on
the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and
lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the grill or before an extended period
of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
HOW TO CLEAN A BURNER TUBE
When the wood pellet burning components of the grill are used for a period of time,
it is necessary to clean out the gas burner tubes from dust and ash accumulation. To
clean, follow these steps:
1. Pull out the R-Pin at the end of the burner tube, located at the rear end wall of
the Grill Barrel (below the Heat Tent knotches).
2. Loosen the two screws at the front end of the burner tube.
3. Carefully, pull out the burner tube half-way to expose the wire connector of
the ignitor. Disconnect the ignitor wire connector, then pull out the burner tube
completely from the Main Barrel.
4. Vacuum, dust and wipe off the burner tube with a cloth and soapy water.
5. After cleaning, connect the ignitor wire connector and re-install the burner tube
into place. Repeat cleaning steps for the other burner tube.
IMPORTANT: Test the ignitor function after cleaning. If the ignitor connection
fails, disconnect and reconnect the connector firmly. If the ignitor electrode
fails to spark, replace the battery for the ignitor (located on the front panel).
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the
result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food
deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.
3.
PROBES
• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
