You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the
following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
WARNING
ENSURE that the gas supply and the knobs are in the “OFF” position.
Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports (For main burners)
To reduce the chance of
FLASHBACK FIRE
you must clean the Burner Tubes as follows
at least once a month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your area, and if
your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
Removing the main burner(s):
1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3. Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your gas
cylinder.
4. Remove the Cooking Grates and Heat Distribution
Plates from your grill.
5. Remove the screw from the front of each Burner using a
Phillips Head Screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas
Valve Orifice.
7. Check and clean burner/ venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
8. Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run the hook
through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove debris.
WARNING
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assembly
Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your
grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/ or fire resulting in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
