Cleaning the burner
Keeping burners free of blockages including spiders, insects, nests and other debris that can block the burner ports is essential
for safe operation.
1. Use a clean grill brush to clean the outside of the burner (see image B).
2. Remove the hitch pins used to secure the burners to the burner box. Use pliers if necessary.
3. Lift burners out slightly, exposing the burner venturi. Be careful not to damage or disconnect the electrode connector.
4. Use a pipe cleaner or flexible Venturi Brush to clean the interior of all burners. Shake any loose debris out of the burner.
5. Use a wire or paper clip to clean burner port holes. Do not use anything that can damage or enlarge port holes.
6. Use a clean soft bristle brush to clean spider/ insect screens.
7. Reinstall, ensuring that the burner orifice is placed over the gas jet correctly.
Cleaning the burner box
Excessive build-up inside the burner box can lead to grease fires and
overheating.
1. Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the interior surfaces of the
burner box and into the grease tray liner (see image C).
IF A MORE THOROUGH CLEANING IS REQUIRED
2. For stubborn build-up use a grill degreaser to loosen up debris and then
repeat step 1.
