CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SIDE BURNER GRATES (BGB48 BQR MODEL):
When lifting the grates be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the surface they are laid on. The burner grates are matte enamel over cast iron. When cool, they may be wiped clean using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. The burner grates will not rust as they are matte enamel on both sides for durability.
The enamel may pop off the edge of the grates due to rapid temperature change when the burners are turned on. Do not be concerned as this does not result in the deterioration of the grates. The cast iron soon darkens to blend with the enamel. Be careful when wiping an area where the enamel has popped off, as the edges may be sharp.
SIDE BURNERS (BGB48 BQR MODEL):
For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the ignitor clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel. Follow the directions that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the location pins on the bottom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 59).
