CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDERAND WEBS
INSI
Your burner might be different
If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
checkand clean the venturis and burners.
Spidersor small insects are known to create "flashback"
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the grill's
venturi or burner,obstructing the flow of gas. The back-
up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This
flashback can damage your grill and cause injury. To
prevent flashbacks and ensure good performancethe
burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed
and cleaned when ever the grill has been idlefor an
extended period of time.
General Grill Cleaning
.Do not mistake brownor black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiorsof gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or usea grill cleanerwith scrub brush on
insides of grill lid and bottom.Rinse and allow to completely air
dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
. 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 surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residuecan be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powderfor stubborn stains.
,Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water.Wipe drywith a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
.Stainless steel surfaces: Tomaintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on
grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
.Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
thegrill 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.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble ignitinggrill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder,
2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3. Removecarryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4. Detachelectrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the
burner configuration. See differentconfigurations in
illustrations below.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest threeways to clean the burner tubes. Use
the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
intoa small hook. Runthe hook through each burner
tube several times.
,,)
(B) Use a narrow bottle brushwith 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.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
8. 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 reengage //_
valve openings, See illustrations at right, /_
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11.Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Repositioncarryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace
heat tents and cooking grates.
