BLUE FLAME BURNER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill

Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.

Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids. Do not brush grids while they are hot.

For baked on residue use a BRASS (NOT STEEL) brush on the cooking grid and other components.

Burn Off

This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill.

Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off process. Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.

1.Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.

2.Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.

3.Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom

Periodically remove cooking grids and Char-Master Briquets or flavor screen to clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean the bottom air holes with a small knife.

Blue Flame Burner Maintenance

Visually inspect the burner flames with each use. Five minutes after lighting, the flames should be blue and have well defined cones. See Figure 40. See the troubleshooting section if the flames are yellow or lift off the burner.

Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use. This does not effect the performance of the grill. When cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.

Grease Tray

Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.

Burner (Venturi) Tubes

The burner (venturi) tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed burner (venturi) tubes and can cause damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. To reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should be performed at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes before using the grill.

Clean burner (venturi) tubes as follows:

1.Remove the cooking grids and briquet rack (R3B only).

2.Remove the burner from the grill.

3.Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the burner

(venturi) tube.

4.Flush with water.

5.Allow the burner (venturi) tube to dry before reinstalling.

6.Reinstall the burner, briquet rack and briquets and cooking grids.

Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster protec- tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

Char-Master Briquets

If the briquets did not come clean during burn off, after cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during warm-up for the next use.
