!WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1.Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2.Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3.Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation check to ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes.
!WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of the grill and disrupt gas flow. This very dangerous condition could cause a fire behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe for operation. Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
