BURNERS AND VENTURIS
Although your burner is constructed of high quality stainless steel, it will rust as a result of the
extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes,
and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
Venturi tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked venturi
tubes can prevent gas flow to the burner and could possibly result in a venturi fire. To clean the
venturis, remove the burner from the grill. Use a pipe cleaner or a small wire and insert into the
opening of the venturi. Remove any obstructions that may exist. Replace the burner as per the
assembly instructions.
COOKING GRILLS
Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used
to remove residue from the cast iron cooking surface. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cast
iron cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven
cleaner.
CERAMIC BRIQUETS
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the ceramic briquets to prevent excess grease
build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect each briquet and replace briquets that
are broken, chipped or damaged to the extent that it may fall through the briquet grate and onto the
burner. Replace the cooking grills and light the burner. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to
remove the excess grease. If purchasing replacement ceramic briquets, purchase only large briquets
that will not fall through the briquet grate as grease build-up on the briquets could result in grease fire.
Always make sure that the ceramic briquets are laying flat side down on the briquet grate.
