BURNER - The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but due to the extreme heat and corrosive environment,
surface corrosion will occur. Use a brass wire brush to remove surface corrosion. Clean any blocked ports using an opened | ||
paper clip. Do not enlarge the burner ports. Spiders and insects are |
| |
attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped |
| |
with an insect screen on the air shutter, which will reduce the likelihood of |
| |
insects building nests inside the burner, but does not entirely eliminate the |
| |
problem. The nest or web will cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow |
| |
or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath |
| |
the control panel. To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed |
| |
from the gas grill. Remove the 2 screws located above the burner to the |
| |
left and right of the centre of the burner. Lift back of burner upwards to |
| |
remove. Use a flexible venturi tube cleaning brush to clean out the inside |
| |
of the burner. Shake any loose debris out of the burner, through the gas | Screw | |
inlet. Ensure that the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or | ||
| ||
other debris. Check also that the valve orifices are clean. Do not enlarge |
| |
the orifices. |
| |
when installing. Replace burner cover and mounting screws to complete |
| |
installation. |
