Cleaning & Maintenance
GRILL BURNERS
Before removing the burners, ensure the gas supply is OFF and the
knobs are in the OFF position. Allow the grill to be completely
cooled before proceeding,
and then lift off the grill racks and
briquette trays. To remove burners, lift the rear of the burner to
clear the pin or bracket. Angle the burner slightly to clear the
igniter electrode and opening at the front of the grill. Slide burner
straight off the orifice tip. It is critical when installing a burner, as
it must be correctly centered and secured on
CLEANING OF U- BURNERS:
To maximize grill performance, clean the exterior of the burner
with a brass wire brush. Clear any stubborn scale with a metal
scraper. Always keep all ports on the sides of the burner open by
periodically cleaning them with a thin stiff wire or paper clip. Never
use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake
out any debris through the air shutter.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to make sure it is not
blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a stiff wire (hanger) to
clean out the burner throat.
CLEANING OF IR- BURNERS:
AFTER EACH USE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO BURN ALL IR
BURNERS WITH THE HOOD OPEN FOR AT LEAST FIVE
MINUTES TO VAPORIZE ANY FOOD DRIPPINGS OR
PARTICLES. FAILURE TO PERFORM THIS STEP WILL
DAMAGE THE IR BURNER. Occasionally it may be necessary to
brush, blow or vacuum accumulated ash from the burner surface.
Hold carefully and make sure the burner is cool.
RE-ASSEMBLING BURNERS:
Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice,
centering it in the hole and resting the rear of the burner onto its
supporting bracket.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE TO CENTER THE BURNER ON
THE ORIFICE PROPERLY.
Be careful not to upset the air shutters' original position (unless
readjusting). Ensure the burner is level and does not rock from side
to side. It is important not to hit or damage the electrode wire while
replacing the burners. The right gap must be maintained to ensure a
proper spark. The gap should be 1/8" to 3/16." To adjust gap, hold
the base of the wire rod tightly with a pair of pliers, and with
another set of pliers, twist the tip of the wire to achieve the correct
gap. Igniter batteries should be replaced at least once a year,
following the instructions on page 7. NOTE : Rough handling of the
electrode can crack the ceramic body, causing all of the igniters to
fail. Install the briquette tray and make sure they sit level and do not
rock. Lastly light all of the burners and check all proper flame
characteristics.
ORIFICE CLEANING
First remove the burner and then remove the orifice and shine a
flashlight through the openings to ensure there are no obstructions.
Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to
enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
GRILL RACK
The round wire grill grates are easily cleaned
immediately after cooking is complete and before turning
off the flame. Cleaning will be more difficult when the
grill has cooled down. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect
your hand from the heat. Dip a brass bristle barbeque
brush in a bowl of hot soapy water frequently and scrub
the hot grill rack. Steam is created as the water contacts
the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by
softening any food particles. For further cleaning, allow
the grates to cool and then soak 15-30 minutes in hot
water and detergent solution. Note: Before removing
grates for cleaning, make sure the gas supply is off and
the knobs are in the “OFF” position.
The U grate used for the IR burner will generally self-
clean during the 5 minute IR burner cleaning period (see
burner cleaning at right). Remove the U grate from the
grill and brush off any burner debris once the grate has
cooled.
NOTE: Never clean the U-grate with any type of
liquid while it is on the grill.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray is located under the burner pan in the
bottom of the grill body to catch excess cooking fats and
juices. The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage
of the grill. DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR
LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS
THIS WILL CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. Note: Allow
the grill to cool completely before attempting to clean.
Remove the drip tray by pulling it out from the grill until
it stops, then lifting the front edge about 45
°
to remove
from grill. Place the tray in hot, soapy water to clean,
rinse and dry. Reinstall by placing rear of tray into
guides, then lifting front edge 45
°
to re-insert the tray.
Slide completely into grill.
NEVER USE GRILL
WITHOUT DRIP TRAY BEING PROPERLY
INSTALLED.
CLEANING BRIQUETTE HOLDER
Although they normally burn clean with use, you can
clean the trays occasionally. Allow the grill to cool off
completely and set the trays upside-down onto their
mounting points. Set the grill on “HI” for 20-30 minutes
to burn the briquettes clean. The trays can also be
scrubbed clean. Make sure the trays are cooled
completely.
