Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
▲ Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
' Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
' Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
If you notice that your grill Is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burner’s.
CONTROL PANEL ^ I'
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the tube behind
the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage
your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner
assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use
\^henever the grill has been idle for an extended period._______
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3. Remove screws and flame carryover tubes from rear of
burners.
4. Remove screw and washers to disengage burner from
bracket on firebox.
5. Remove screws to detach electrode from burner. Electrode
should remain in firebox.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.
I---------------------................. .......................................... ^
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paperclip.
Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve
openings. See illustrations at right. correct
