CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill Burners
The grill burners should be cleaned thoroughly before
using your grill after long periods of storage and monthly
during regular use.
1. Be sure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the
OFF position. Make sure the grill is cool.
2. Remove the grill racks and the briquette trays
complete with the briquettes.
3. Slide out and remove any smoker drawer.
4. Grasp the burner and lift it up and slightly to the rear
of the unit. Angle the burner sideways carefully
clearing the orifice and the opening at the front.
Remove the burner.
5. Repeat steps above with each of the burners in
your unit.
6. Clean the exterior of the burner with a brass bristle
brush. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened
paper clip. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
7. Using a flashlight, as shown, inspect the interior of
the burner for any blockages. If any are found,
remove them with a straightened metal wire coat
hanger as shown. Again shake out any debris through
the air shutter.
8. Before replacing the burners, check grill bottom for
any accumulation of grease, carbon and burnt food.
Clean bottom as described below.
9. Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the
orifice, centering the burner on the orifice hole. When
properly centered, the burner rear legs will fit into the
square mounting holes of the burner support rail. It is
extremely important to properly center the burner on
the orifice. Be careful not to disturb the air shutter
position. Lower the burner on to the support rail
making sure it is level and does not rock.
10. Replace the briquette tray and briquettes, again making
sure the tray is level and stable.
11. Replace the grill racks.
12. Light all burners and check for flame characteristics
as described on Adjustments and Efficiency section
on page 12.
WARNING: Never spray aerosol cleaners onto or around
a hot grill; The aerosol propellant or cleaner may ignite
or explode causing serious injury.
