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 or from the climate your grill is exposed to. 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.Make sure power to all burners are off. The red indicator light above the ON/OFF switch should not be lit. Turn gas off at the LP cylinder tank valve.
2.Remove cooking grills, and heat distribution plates.
3.Remove screws from each burner “foot” and carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
4.Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through each burner tube and flame port several times.
Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 5.
5.Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
6.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
7.Check burner for damage. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
8.Carefully replace burners and secure with screws removed in Step 3.

IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
9.There are 5 viewing holes on the back panel of the grill body for inspecting and proper alignment of the main burners or side burner.
10.Follow the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.
11.Replace heat distribution plates and cooking grills.
COOKING GRILLS
•Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES
•Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess grease
