Burner removal

Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

(on some models)

Ensure the gas supply is off, the knobs are in the OFF position and all surfaces are cool before removing a burner.

The grill and range-top burners are cast iron coated with porcelain enamel. Occasionally it will be necessary to remove surface rust to ensure proper performance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate and location and how often you use the cooking center. The walls of the burners are thick so they can withstand many years of use.

To remove the grill burner(s), remove the grill rack(s), then lift out the stainless steel radiant tray(s) with the lava rocks or ceramic briquettes still on it. Remove wire shipping ties if present. Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front. Angle the burner sideways and remove.(24″ models have two grill burners.)

To remove the range-top burners (on some models), remove the top grates. Lift out aeration pan from around the burners. Lift and remove the front and rear range-top burners.

Grill burner for 27,″ 36″ and 48″ models

The smoker burner (on some models) can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the igniter wire and lifting out the burner.

To reassemble the burners, replace the burner by sliding the air shutters over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole. It is extremely important

to center the burner on the orifice properly.

Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel and make sure the locating hole in the burner end is seated over the pin in the burner box. Make sure all burners are level and do

not rock.

On 24″ models, to double check if the two burners are properly seated over the brass orifices, you can visually inspect them.

1.Remove the two outer control knobs.

2.Remove the two screws underneath the control knobs and the two screws underneath the control panel.

3.Rotate the control panel forward. (Do not remove it.)

4.Shine a flashlight in the gap to make sure the burners are over the brass orifices. Replace screws and knobs.

Grill burners for 24″ model

Replace the stainless steel radiant tray so that the slots in the corners of the tray align with the projections on the top of the burner. (On 24″ models the stainless steel radiant trays sit level on the side supports.) Make sure that it sits level and does not rock.

Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. (Do not attempt to light the burners prior to replacing radiant trays, grills and aeration pans.) If adjustments are necessary refer to the Installation Instructions.
