Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your
gas grill.
Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
Refer to
Figure 1
and perform one of these
three cleaning methods:
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 paper clip.
3. Inspect each Burner for 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.
WARNING
!
!
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve
Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before
using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not
inside the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may
cause explosion and/or fire resulting in serious
bodliy injury and/or property damage.
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and
run the hook through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times to remove
debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: 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.
