Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK 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 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, Flame tamers, and Grease Trays from your grill.

5.Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.

6.Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas Valve Orifice.

7.Refer to Fig. 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown

below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times

to remove any debris.

Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times, remov- ing any debris.

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.

,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.

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 your gas grill. See Fig. 2. If the Burner Tube does not fit ever the Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
