Trouble Shooting - Brinkmann Southgate Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Grill Owner's Manual

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Ensure that the natural gas supply has been turned off.
• Clean all surfaces.
• Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the hose from the natural gas supply.
• Insert protective cover into quick disconnect coupling. See section on "Connecting Your Grill To The
Natural Gas Source."
• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one
month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder
months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
