(FIG. 20D) Open up the main burner holes and the side burner holes with a small nail or w ire.Normal wear and corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large cracks or holes are found, replace the Burner. Use a brass wire brush to remove food particles and corrosion from the burner surfaces. (Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on the burners.) It can be wire brushed and coated with cooking oil periodically. Verify that there are no insects or insect nests blocking the inlet hole.
6)Check the Side Burner electrode to see if it is loose. (FIG. 20D) If so, tighten the Side Burner Wingnut underneath to maintain 3/16” gap between electrode tip and side burner. Note: Before next step you may wish to clean the rest of the Grill Bowl inside. (See Grill Body and Cart Cleaning.)
