SIDE BURNERS
The side burners are constructed of cast iron with a high heat black coating. Occasional cleaning of
the burner ports will be necessary. (See page 11, 16) The burners can be repainted using high heat
paint. This will seal the cast iron and help prevent rust.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
After removing:
1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.
2. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
3. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
4. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
5. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked.
6. If an obstruction can be seen, use a straightened metal wire coat
-
hanger to clean it out.
CLEANING THE ORIFICES
No regular maintenance should be needed for the orifices. They should only be removed if it is deter-
mined that there is a blockage.
FLAVOR GRID
The flavor grid should be cleaned regularly as it has grease and other debris falling directly on to it.
Keeping it clean will greatly reduce flare
-
ups and grease fires.
TO CLEAN
1. Wait until the entire grill is cool then remove the cooking grids.
2. Lift out the flavor grid and brush it with a steel wire brush until all the carbon
build up and other debris are removed.
It is not necessary to clean the flavor grid with soap and water.
TO REPLACE THE BURNERS
Replace a burner by sliding the end with air shutter over the brass orifice. Then place the burner onto
the mounting bracket and replace the screw. The burners have an offset hole for mounting to the rear
bracket, which will allow the burner to be installed with the crossover holes facing up. Once rein-
stalled, light all of the burners and check for proper flame. (See page 12 Figure 3) Warning: Serious
injury may occur if the orifice is not located properly in the burner
.
