CARE & MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL
WARNING
Failure to properly place the burner over the
orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and
beneath the valve panel, thereby damaging the
grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Grease specks can gather and bake onto the surfaces
of the stainless steel, giving the appearance of rust.
For removal, use an abrasive pad with a stainless steel
cleaner.
GRILL RACK
The best time to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed, and the flames have been turned
off.
GRILL BURNER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
The grill burners are factory installed
.
To remove the main burners for cleaning:
1. Locate the nut at the rear of the burner on the
bottom side.
2. Remove the nut and lift the burner out of the
fire box.
To reinstall the main burners:
3. Insert the burner over the valve assembly
(model 750-0141/740-0141 Item # 16 on
pages 24 and 26).
4. Insert the back of the burner into the hole at
the rear of the fire box and reinstall the nut.
5. Make sure orifice spud is inside the burner’s
venturi as shown below.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from heat
and steam.
Scrub the hot grill by dipping a bristle barbecue brush
in tap water. Cleaning will be more difficult if the grill is
allowed to cool.
CAUTION
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and
control knobs are in the “OFF” position and the
burners have cooled.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING
1. Turn off the gas supply, and make sure the
control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. Make certain the grill is cool, and clean the
exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a
metal scraper for stubborn stains.
3. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper
clip. Never use a wooden toothpick. It may
break off and clog the port.
4. Check and clean burners/venturi tubes for
insects and insect nest. A clogged tube can
lead to a fire beneath the grill.
5. If insects or other obstructions are blocking the
flow of gas to the burner, call customer service
at 1-800-554-5799.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down
and washed after each use with a mild detergent
and warm water solution.
A small amount of sand or cat litter may be placed
in the bottom of the grease tray to absorb the
grease. Check the grease tray frequently. Do not
allow excess grease to accumulate and flow out of
the grease tray.
CHECK YOUR GRILL FOR THE FOLLOWING
ITEMS TWICE A YEAR
1. Keep area around the grill free and clear of
combustible materials.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and
ventilation air.
3. Visually check the burner flames (see
Flame Characteristics on page 19).
4. Clean the grill as described above
5. Check the grill for spiders and insects (see
page 23).
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a
burner. It must be correctly centered on the
orifice before any attempt is made to relight
the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on
how often you use the grill.
