To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see
CAUTION at right) clean the Burner Tubes and
Burners before fully assembling your grill. Re-
move the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and
perform one of these three cleaning methods:
.
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.

( J
. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.
Run the brush through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times, removing any
debris.
.
Use an air hose to force air through each
Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the Burner and
out the Ports.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the
Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.
