CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Burner Maintenance

·Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner obstructions before each use.

·Always turn off the Control Knobs when not in use. Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.

Burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the burners. (See Burner cleaning instructions next page.)

CAUTION: SOME OF THE METAL EDGES MAY BE SHARP. BE CAREFUL IN HANDLING.
