COOKING GRATES, WARMING RACK, AND HEAT DIFFUSERS –
use a stiff brass brush. Wash with
warm water and mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and dry.
GREASE PAN AND TRAY –
check after each use. Remove and empty the Tray when half full. Remove and
clean the Pan as grease builds up. Both can be washed with warm water and mild dish soap.
ELECTRONIC IGNITER –
visually inspect for cracks. Replace if a crack is found. Do not use water to
clean the igniter.
BURNERS –
we recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been
used in over one month.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
1. Ensure the LP gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates, heat diffusers, and grease tray.
3. Remove the Phillips Head screws located at the back end
of each burner.
4. Lift each burner up and out.
5. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A
straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool. An
alternative way to clean the inside of the burner is using
compressed air. Always wear eye protection if using this
method.
Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
7. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of all debris
8. Inspect the burner. Replace if any cracks or enlarged holes.
9. Reinstall the burners making sure the burners seat over the
valves as shown in the figure to the right.
10. Secure the back of the burners to the firebox with the Phillips
Head screws.
11. Replace the grease tray, heat diffusers, and cooking grates.
12. Perform a Leak Test described earlier in this guide.
WARNING
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin
webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You will
usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner when
this happens. Other signs include the gill not heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners not
igniting. In cases with severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the
burner tubes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury.
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF
THE FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL
CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN.
Wait for the grill to cool, and then clean all burners. Your
grill may be stored indoors only if the LP cylinder is disconnected and
removed
from the appliance.

WARNING
Properly locating the burner with respect to the orifice is vital for safety
