1. Burner ports are clogged from the broiler operating
too close to a fryer or charbroiler that is creating
grease laden air. Clogged burner ports create poor
burner performance and cause the burner housing
to overheat and warp allowing the tiles to fall out of
burner. If tiles are missing, install a replacement
burner. See NOTE at top of page.
