Most residue on the Cooking Grids can be cleaned with a
baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a
nonabrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or
other like cleaning products on the porcelain coated sur-
faces. This will scratch the porcelain coating causing foods
to stick. Provided that the Burner is operating correctly, in normal
usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the
burner clean. The Burner 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
burner. (See Burner cleaning instructions below)
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

· Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner
obstructions before each use.
· Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the
LP cylinder valve when not in use. Allow grill to
cool before handling parts or cleaning.
Burner Maintenance

To reduce the risk of a fire beneath the grill:
· Inspect and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests.
· Be sure burners are re-installed properly before using
grill.
· Inspect burners periodically, if large cracks or holes are
found, replace the Burner.
Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs and lay eggs
in the grills venturi tubes obstructing the flow of gas to the
burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control
panel causing damage to the grill and even injury to the
operator. This is known as a “flashback”.
In order to prevent flashbacks, the burner(s) should be
removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if
the grill has been stored for an extended period of time.

Should you notice that you burner(s) are getting hard to light
or the flame is not as hot as it once was, Refer to the “How
to Clean your Burners” Section to remove any possible
obstructions.
How to clean the Burner
1) Make sure the LP cylinder and grill control knobs are
turned off, and the grill has completely cooled.
2) Carefully remove Grease Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flavor
Activator™.
3) Remove the Burner, by first removing the Heat Shield
from the bottom of grill Bowl. Remove the two screws
securing the burner (also located underneath the grill
bowl.)
4) Remove Burner from the grill.
5) Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions from the Burner
holes and inlet hole. Verify that there are no insects or
insect nests blocking the inlet hole. Normal wear and
corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large
cracks or holes are found the Burner should be replaced.
Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on
the Burner.
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, reinstall Burner and other parts
removed back into grill. Note: When refitting the Burner,
be careful to check that it is positioned correctly. (Refer
to Step 4 of Assembly Instructions for reinstallation)
Clean Burner holes all around with small nail or wire.
