Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" you must
clean the Burner Tubes at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active or
when your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP gas Tank Valve to the full OFF position.
Detach the LP gas Hose and Regulator Assembly
from your gas grill.
Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers, and
Grease Trays from your grill.
Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of each
Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
gas Valve Orifice.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check
to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2
. If the
orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the
Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
