BURNER

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

•Clean cooking grates. •Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children. •Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer once available.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.

When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

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.

2.Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.

3.Remove cotter pin from rear of burners.

4.Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

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

(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) 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

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

5.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

6.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

7.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations below.

8.Carefully replace burners.

9.Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin.

10.Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates.
