Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

INSIDE VENTURI

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1.Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2.Remove cooking grate and heat tent.

3.Under grill remove grease cup, disconnect ignitor wire from burner.

4.Inside grill remove burner assembly (A), clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing alcohol and a swab.

5.Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner upside down on flat surface, insert garden hose to force water through tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

6.If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out.

7.If not storing grill after cleaning, replace burner into grill bottom.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve

openings. See illustration (A).

8.Reattach ignitor wire to electrode.

9.Reposition heat tent and cooking grate. Reattach clean grease cup to grease clip.

10.Before cooking again on grill, perform a “Leak Test” and “Burner Flame Check”.
