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 emitters.
3. Remove carryover tubes.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
5. 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
several times.
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.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper
clip.
9. 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 illustration below.
10. Attach electrode to burner.
11. Carefully replace burners.
12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace
emitters and cooking grates.

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 burners.
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 burners tubes(s) obstructing the flow
of gas. The backed-up gas can ignite 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
should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever
the grill has been idle for an extended period.
