CARE & CLEANING
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety precautions, to prevent bodily injury and to assure that your
Grill will operate properly :
Always allow sufficient time for the Grill to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
BURNERS:
NOTE:
WARNING:
NOTE:
All of the burners should be inspected
frequently and cleaned as often as is necessary.
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 (see Fig. 15).
Remove the cooking Grills and the sear
plates to inspect the burner at least once per year, or
more frequently if required.
Main Burner
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 (see Fig. 15). Be careful
not to damage the electrode ceramics.
Use a wire brush or toothpick to clean the ports all
around the sides of the burner (see 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.
Reinstall the burners properly over the valves (see
Fig. 21).
