CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
SPIDER
AND
INSECT
WARNING
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and any other Power Burner, which
causes the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire
behind the valve panel, damaging the Power Burner and making the Power Burner unsafe to
operate. Inspect the burners once a year or if the Power Burner has not been used for more than
one month or if any of the following conditions occur:
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2) The Power Burner does not reach temperature.
3) The Power Burner heats unevenly.
4) The burner makes popping noises
STAINLESS
STEEL MAINTENANCE
The Power Burner is made of stainless steel construction.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial cooking use, certain
areas of the Power Burner will discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the internal
heat given off by the burner. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel
and get baked-on. These can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with
a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the Power Burner.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be
used to bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel,
sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the
grain
POWER
BURNER GRATE
MAITENANCE
The easiest way to clean the grates is to scrub them with a barbeque brush immediately after
cooking is completed and the flame is turned off.
Wear a heat protective barbeque mitt to protect your hands from the heat and
steam. Dip a stainless bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grates. Dip the
brush frequently in tap water. Steam, created as water comes in contact with the hot Power
Burner grates, helps loosen food particles stuck in the Power Burner grates. These food
particles will either get burned or fall into the cleaning pan. Cleaning of the Power Burner would
be longer and more difficult if the Power Burner grates are allowed to cool before cleaning.
