Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK the procedure

below should be followed at least once a month in late

summer or early fall when spiders are most active or

when your grill has not been used for a period of time.

1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your

gas grill.

4. Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame tamers, and

Grease Trays from your grill.

5. Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of

each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.

6. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Orifice.

7. Refer to Fig. 1 and perform one of these

three cleaning methods:

* Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

works well) into a small hook as shown

below. Run the hook through the Burner

Tube and inside the Burner several times

to remove any debris.

(

----------

* Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.

Run the brush through the Burner Tube

and inside the Burner several times, remov*

ing any debris.

* 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.

Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you

use, we recommend you also complete the following

steps to help prolong Burner life.

1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire

outer surface of each Burner until free of food

residue and dirt.

2. Clean any clogged Ports with a stiff wire, such as

an open paperclip.

3. Inspect each Burnerfor damage (cracks or holes)

and if such damage is found, order and install a

new Burner. After installation, check to ensure

that the Gas Valve Orifices are correctly placed

inside the ends of the Burner Tubes. Also check

the position of your Spark Electrode.

A WARNING

The location of the Burner Tube with respect

to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.

Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the

Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See

Fig. 2. If the Burner Tube does not fit over

the Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner may

cause explosion and/or fire.
