Cleaning The Bumer Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" the proce-
dure below should be followed at least once a month
in late summer or eady fall when spiders are most
active or when your gdll has not been used for a
period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full
OFF position.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the LP gas
tank by turning the Quick Coupling Nut counter-
clockwise.
4. Remove the cooking grids, flame tamers, and
grease trays from your grill.
5. Remove the cotter pin from the rear underside of
each burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the
gas valve orifice.
7. Refer to Fig. 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.
,)
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
debds or obstructions through the burner
and out the ports.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface
of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
.
Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new burner. After installation, check to insure that
the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside
the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the
position of your spark electrode.
Z WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect
to the orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the orifice is inside of the
burner tube before using your gas grill. See
Fig. 2. If the burner tube does not fit over
the valve odfica, lighting the burner may
cause explosion and/or fire.
