Care & Cleaning
Always perform the following periodic inspections and preventive maintenance procedures to prevent flashback fires
from occurring and to assure that your Grill will operate properly:
1. Always allow sufficient time for the Grill to cool to a safe temperature before handling or cleaning any of its com-
ponents.
2. Always inspect all of the burners frequently, and clean them as often as is necessary.
3. Always inspect the air shutter screen periodically to confirm that it is clear of food residue, spider webs or other
insect debris. A clogged venturi tube can cause a fire to occur beneath the Grill, due to a flashback of gas. (Fig. 15)
4. Loosen the burner attachment screws (from inside) to allow the burners to be pulled away from the valves far
enough for a venturi brush or suitable cleaning device to be inserted into the burner venturi to clean away debris.
(Fig. 15) Be careful not to damage the electrode ceramics.
5. Use a wire brush or toothpick to clean the ports all around the sides of the burner. (Fig. 16) It is normal for some
surface rust to appear on the burner. Severe rusting can enlarge the gas ports, however, which could cause changes
in the Grill’s performance.
6. Reinstall the burners properly over the valves. (Fig. 21)
