CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must
clean the Burner Tubes as follows at least once a month
in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your
area, and if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and
run the hook through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times to remove
debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through
the Burner and out the Ports.

cleaning methods:
Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
Remove the screws from the rear of each Main
Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
Remove screws along all sides of the Infra-red
Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
Remove all cooking component from grill and
range.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from
the Gas Valve Orifice.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for
insects and insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your
gas grill.
WARNING
! !
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve
Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice
is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting the
Burner may cause explosion and/or fire result-
ing in serious bodliy injury and/or property
damage.

Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong Burner life.
1.After each use of the main grill or infrared cooking zone it is
necessary to burn off food particles and drippings which
can clog Burner ports and reduce Burner performance.
OPEN the grill Lid, ignite the burner(s) and operate grill
on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes. You can close the Lid
if only main Burners are lit, but NEVER close the Lid over
a lit Infrared Burner. Do not leave grill unattended at any
time during this process.
3.
2.Use a nylon brush, blower or vacuum to remove accumu-
lated ash from the outer surface of each Burner. Clogged
tube style Burner ports can be cleaned with a stiff wire,
such as an open paper clip. DO NOT use a stiff brush or
sharp tool of any type on the fragile infrared Burner.
Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if
such damage is found, order and install a new Burner. After
installation, checkto ensure that the Gas Valve Orifices
are correctly placed inside the ends of the Burner Tubes.
Also check the position of your Spark Electrode.
