CLEANING THE BURNERS
1.
Ensure the natural gas is turned off at the shutoff valve.
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.

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.
BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A good flame
should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimal
amount of noise. Some yellow tips are OK if under one inch.
New burners sometimes have oil residue, which will cause
yellow flame when burning off. Variations in gas supply,
altitude, weather, and other factors can all impact burner
performance. Older grills can also show more yellow flame as
food deposits, oils, and fats can build up
ALWAYS
1.
Keep the grilling area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
2.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3.
Keep the ventilation openings of the Natural gas source enclosure free and clear from debris.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE
Your grill is equipped with electronic ignition for the back and side burners. It’s powered by one “AA” size
battery. Replace the battery when necessary. Unscrew the igniter top. Place the new battery into the igniter
with the positive (+) end of the battery facing up. Screw the igniter top back into place.
WARNING
Properly locating the burner with respect to the orifice is vital for safety
