Brinkmann Gas Kettle Grill Gas Grill User Manual


 
BURNER AND VENTURI
Although your burner is constructed of cast iron, 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 corro-
sion damage. If found, replace the burner.
Venturi tube 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
venturi, remove the ash guard/grease cup holder plate from between the legs. Then, remove the three
retaining bolts from the bottom of the burner and 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, ash guard/grease cup holder plate and follow the Gas Leak Testing section of
this manual.
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 chrome plated cooking surface. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the
chrome plated cooking grill. Steel can cause the chrome plating to chip or crack. DO NOT use a
commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT SHIELD
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat shield to prevent excess grease build-up.
When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grill. Inspect the heat shield and replace if broken or
damaged. Do not allow heat shield to become damaged to the extent that it may fall through onto the
burner. Replace the heat shield and cooking grill and light the burner. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10
minutes to remove the excess grease.
