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 flame tamers.

3.Remove screws and carryover tubes from rear of burners.

4.Remove screw and washers to disengage burner from b.racketon firebox.

5.Remove screws to detach electrode from burner. Electrode should remain in firebox.

6.Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

(A)(Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.

(B)Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.

(C)Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

7.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove

food residue and dirt.

8.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

9.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations at right.
