Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire grill should be cleaned at least once a year. In addition, keep the area around your grill clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. If your
Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow. Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around the gas tubes called “flashback”. To reduce the risk of flashback, this procedure should be followed at least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.
1.Remove burners from the grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
2.Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of each burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an opened paper clip.
3.Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and holes). If any damage is found, replace the burner and discontinue grill usage.
4.Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orifices for cleanliness and condition and the location of the igniters.
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.
