VALVE

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.

3.Remove cotter pins and carryover tubes from front of burners.

4.Remove cotter pin and lift burner to disengage from bracket on firebox.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

	into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
	tube several times.
(B)	Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
	use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
	burner tube several times.
(C)	Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into

port to make sure air comes out each hole.

BURNER

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.

Storing Your Grill
