CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Fig. 48 |
Note: |
When replacing grill and/or smoker burners, or orifices following cleaning, confirm orifice penetration into burner as shown in Fig. 48
Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original posi- tion (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and does not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are necessary, refer to page 17. Do this prior to cooking on the grill.
SIDE BURNERS (BGB48 BQR MODEL):
For proper lighting and performance keep the burn- ers clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the electrode clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in clean- ing. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel. Follow the directions on the previ- ous page for cleaning that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the location pins on the bot- tom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 49).

SMOKER BURNER:
The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the electrode wire and lifting out the burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill burner. Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, center- ing it in the hole.
