Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK” the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your grill has not been used for a period of time.

1.Turn all burner valves and gas tank valve to off position.

2.Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas grill.

3.Remove cooking grids, flame tamers, and grease tray from the grill.

4.Remove the screws from the underside of each burner and lift the burners up and away from the gas valve orifice.

5.Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook , air hose or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube and inside several times to remove any debris.

6.Replace burners, see illustration below.

Step 1. Locate the burner onto the orifice.

Step 2. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire box with 2 screws.

Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.

1.Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.

2.Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.

3.Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation check to ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes.

!WARNING

The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
