An n u a l Maintenance
After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety. Inspect and clean the burner tube. Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the procedures outlined in the “General Maintenance” section of this manual. Check all gas fittings for leaks following the instructions listed in this manual under “Check for gas Leaks”.
Inspection and cleaning of Burner Tube:
Your grill, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tube. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to your grill.
Venturi Section |
To inspect the burner tube, look up from directly below the burner control knob. If there is dust or dirt in the tube, remove the burner tube for cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not clean the burner tube with hard or sharp tools.
Lightly tap the burner tube to get debris and dirt out. Once burner tube is clean replace it in the grill. If the burner tube becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, visit www.margaritavillecargo.com or call
