hole of main burner (FIG. 20C) and side burner ventilation
hole. (FIG. 20D) Open up the main burner holes and the
side burner holes with a small nail or wire.Normal wear
and corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large
cracks or holes are found, replace the Burner. Use a
brass wire brush to remove food particles and corrosion
from the burner surfaces. (Note: It is normal for surface
rust to be present on the burners.) It can be wire brushed
and coated with cooking oil periodically. Verify that there
are no insects or insect nests blocking the inlet hole.
6) Check the Side Burner electrode to see if it is loose.
(FIG. 20D) If so, tighten the Side Burner Wingnut
underneath to maintain 3/16” gap between electrode tip
and side burner. Note: Before next step you may wish to
clean the rest of the Grill Bowl inside. (See Grill Body
and Cart Cleaning.)
7) If grill is to be stored, coat Burner lightly with cooking oil
and wrap in a protective cover to keep insects out.
8) After cleaning, re-install the Burner. Be sure that it is
positioned correctly. The valves should fit inside the
venturi ends of the burner. (See FIG. 20A)
