1.Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2.Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3.Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your gas grill.
4.Remove the Cooking Grids, Savor Plates ® and Grease Trays from your grill.
5.Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
6.Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas Valve Orifice.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove debris.
.)
[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through the Burner and out the Ports.
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 the Gas Valve Orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the Burner Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark Electrode.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
