Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you
have trouble igniting griddle.
1 . Turn gas off at control knobs and turn off gas at gas supply.
2 . Remove griddle plate.
3 . Remove hardware securing burners.
4 . Remove Carryover tubes. Note that your grill's carryover tubes may be located
at the front of the grill. Removal is the same, whther at the front or the rear.
5 . Detach electrode from burner.
6 . Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
• Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small
hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
• 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.
• Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube
and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out
each hole.
7 . Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
8 . Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
9 . Check burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion, some holes may
become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found, replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve openings. See illus-
tration below.
