5)Use a pipe cleaner to clear insect nests from the inlet hole of main burner (FIG. 15D). Open up the main burner holes with a small nail or wire.Normal wear and corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large cracks or holes are found, replace the Burner. Use a brass wire brush to remove food particles and corrosion from the burner surface. (Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on the burners.) It can be wire brushed and coated with cooking oil periodically. Verify that there are no insects or insect nests blocking the inlet hole. Before next step you may wish to clean the rest of the Grill Bowl inside. (See Grill Body and Cart Cleaning.)

6)If grill is to be stored, coat Burner lightly with cooking oil and wrap in a protective cover to keep insects out.

7)After cleaning, re-install the Burner. Be sure that it is positioned correctly. The valve nozzles should fit inside the venturi ends of the burner. (See FIG. 15C)

8)Re-attach Heat Shield to bottom of Bowl and Side Crossbrace.

9)Check burner operation after re-assembly.

10)Replace Grease Cup, Flame Diffuser and Cooking Grid.

STORAGE

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Store your LP gas grill in a cool dry place. Do not store an LP gas cylinder in a space greater than 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store an LP gas cylinder in a building ,garage or any enclosed area.

·Do not store an LP gas cylinder indoors (empty or filled). Disconnect the LP gas cylinder from the gas grill and store it outdoors out of the reach of children. The gas grill may then be stored indoors.

·To avoid an explosion, do not leave an LP gas cylinder inside a vehicle that can become overheated by the sun.

·Even though your LP gas cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present and the cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.

·Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the LP gas grill.

·Always turn off the gas cylinder at the LP cylinder valve when the gas grill is not in use.

1)Disconnect LP gas cylinder from grill and store outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Re-cap LP cylinder valve with the Safety Cap.

2)Remove Burner and wrap with aluminum foil to prevent insects from entering the burner holes. Store wrapped Burner on top of cooking grid.

3)You may wrap the Cooking Grid and Flame Diffuser in aluminum foil and place inside the Hood or store inside your dwelling.

4)Place a grill cover over the grill and store the gas grill outdoors if possible. It may be stored indoors only if the LP cylinder is disconnected from the gas grill.

5)Before next use, remove aluminum foil and reinstall Burner, Flame Diffuser, and Cooking Grid.

6)Before using the grill after periods of storage or non-use (i.e. over winter), check your LP gas grill for gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions.

7)Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
