SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the barbeque’s venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your barbeque and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the barbeque has been idle for an extended period of time.
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 tent.
3.Under grill remove grease cup, disconnect ignitor wire from burner.
4.Inside grill remove burner assembly (A), clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing alcohol and a swab.
5.Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner upside down on flat surface, insert garden hose to force water through tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and examine holes. Check that the burners are not damaged. Because of normal wear and corrosion some holes may have enlarged. If you notice large cracks or large holes, replace the burner.
6.If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out.
7.If not storing grill after cleaning, replace burner into grill bottom. See illustration (B).
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve openings. See illustration (A).
8.Reattach ignitor wire to electrode.
9.Reposition heat tent and cooking grate. Reattach clean grease cup to grease clip.
10.Before cooking again on grill, perform a “Leak Test” and “Burner Flame Check”.
Burner Flame Check
•Remove cooking grates and heat tents. Light burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner flame check on side burner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

General Grill Cleaning
•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
•Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
•Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

Turning Grill Off
•Turn all knobs to the 
OFF position. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
•Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time in each collector box or between burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.
Valve Check
•Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn or kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.
•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and
warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
B
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is NOT recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
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 manufacturers.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.
