CLEANING THE BURNERS
1.Ensure the LP gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2.Remove the cooking grates, flame tamer, and grease tray.
3.Remove the cotter pins located underneath the back end of each burner.
4.Lift each burner up and out.
5.Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool. An alternative way to clean the inside of the burner is using compressed air. Always wear eye protection
if using this method. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
7. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of all debris

10.Secure the back of the burners to the firebox with the cotter pins.
11.Replace the grease tray, flame tamer, and cooking grates.
12.Perform a Leak Test described earlier in this guide.
BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimal amount of noise. Some yellow tips are OK if under one inch. New burners sometimes have oil residue, which will cause yellow flame when burning off. Variations in gas supply, altitude, weather, and other factors can all impact burner performance. Older grills can also show more yellow flame as food deposits, oils, and fats can build up.
ALWAYS
1.Keep the grilling area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2.Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3.Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE
Your grill is equipped with electronic ignition. It’s powered by one “AA” size battery. Replace the battery when necessary. Unscrew the igniter top. Place the new battery into the igniter with the positive (+) end of the battery facing up. Screw the igniter top back into place.
GRILL STORAGE
1.Clean your grill before storage.
2.Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the gas grill.
3.Cover the grill.
4.Perform a Leak Test before use after storage.
