Cleaning and Maintenance | Brinkmann Portable Tailgate Gas Grill

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

•Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

•Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.

•Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.

•For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended periods of storage.

•Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

•Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

•Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.

•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

1.Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
