Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

Cooktop burners

(on some models)

The burner consists of the burner base and the burner head. They can be lifted off, making them easy to clean.

WARNING:

DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNER WITHOUT ALL BURNER PARTS IN PLACE. Surface burners should be cleaned routinely, especially after bad spillovers which can clog the slots and holes in the burner heads. Improperly assembled or dirty burners may lead to an explosion, which could result in serious injury.

The electrode is located at the front of each burner. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on or being lighted. An electric shock may result .

Cleaning

Lift off burner parts only when cool. Wash in hot, soapy water. You may use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food particles. Burners are dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended.

To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads and bases in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20–30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad or toothbrush.

After Cleaning

Before replacing the burner parts, shake out excess water and then dry them thoroughly.

To replace the burner parts:

1.Replace the burner base, making sure that the slots are properly aligned with the electrode and the posts on the cooktop.

2.Place the burner head on top of the burner base. Make sure that the burner head is properly seated on the burner base.

Cooktop spark igniters and electrodes

(on some models)

The electrode of the electronic ignition system is positioned at the front of the burner base. When cleaning the cooktop, be careful not to snag the igniter with your cleaning cloth. Damage to the igniter could occur.

Be careful not to push in a control knob while cleaning. It could cause the igniter to spark.

Make sure that the white ceramic igniters on the cooktop are dry and clean. Clean the metal portion of the electrode with a soft cloth or emery board.

Do not attempt to remove the electrode from the cooktop.

The full-width drip tray will collect grease from the grill section, as well as boilovers and spills from the cooktop burners (on some models).

Allow the tray and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Using paper towels or a sponge, and a general-purpose cleaner, wipe the grease from the tray often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

NOTE: Drain holes are provided for the easy removal of accumulated rain water. Extend the drip tray partially forward to expose the drain plug(s). Place a container under the tray and remove the drain plug(s). After water has drained, complete cleaning by wiping the tray dry using paper towels or a sponge.
