Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner

easiest for you.

tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.

residue and dirt.
