Care and Maintenance
• Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat
and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of
corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
• DO NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back of grill. Burner tube can become blocked by spiders and other
insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a
burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill.
• To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if
you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at regulator control knob.
2. Remove cooking grids and heat tent.
3. Remove screws from burner mount on left side of firebox using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift burner up and away from right side opening.
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through burner tube or use
compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. CAUTION: Wear eye protection when
using compressed air. Check each port to make sure air comes out each port.
6. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
7. Check burner for damage, if any cracks or holes are found replace burner.
8. Install burner in grill. IMPORTANT: Burner must slide over nozzle from regulator.
9. Repeat steps.
10. Replace heat tent and cooking grids.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Ensure that the regulator valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burner with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP cylinder and leave the cylinder OUTDOORS.
• Place a protective cap cover on the LP cylinder and store the cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated area out of
direct sunlight.
• Check and clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of not
being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). Blocked
burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill.

• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
