MAINTENANCE
To keep your grill performing as safely and efficiently
as it did on day one, we strongly recommend that
you inspect and clean the burner tube at least once
a year. Over time, the burner tube (A) may become
dirty and blocked. Spiders and insects can nest in
the venturi (B) section of the burner tube causing gas
to flow back out of the air shutter (C). Blocked and
dirty burner slots (D) can restrict full gas flow. This
obstruction could result in a fire in and around the
burner tube under or near the ignition box, causing
serious damage to your grill.
Common symptoms of blocked or dirty tubes may
include:
• Gas smell in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing very yellow and lazy.
• Burner making popping noises.
m DANGER
Failure to correct any problems described
on this page may result in a fire, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube in your grill was manufactured for
the correct air and gas mixture. When the burner
tube is performing correctly, you will see a specific
flame pattern. The tips should flicker yellow (E),
with dark blue in the middle (F) and light blue at the
burner tube (G). If the flames do not match the above
flame pattern description, or if "popping" noises
occur, it could be an indication that the burner needs
cleaning.
THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE BURNER
TUBE
You will need: A torch, chenille pipe cleaner, and
a clean stainless steel bristle brush. Do not use
a brush that has already been used to clean the
cooking grates.
1. Confirm that grill is off and cool.
2. Remove retaining clip (H) and hose fitting (I) from
the burner tube.
3. Look inside the burner tube with a flashlight and
insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the
burner tube (J). Be careful not to damage the
igniter electrode.
4. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner
slots (K).
5. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a
stainless steel bristle brush (L).
6. Reinstall hose fitting and retaining clip onto
burner tube.
m WARNING: Prior to use, pull the hose
fitting to make sure that the retaining clip
is in place and the hose fitting is securely
attached inside the burner tube.

SNAP-JET GAS IGNITION
SYSTEM OPERATION
The burner control knob has a built-in igniter. The
igniter supplies a spark to the igniter electrode
assembly. Whether you are performing routine
maintenance or a troubleshooting check on the
SNAP-JET gas ignition system, read the following to
D
keep the system working properly.
m WARNING: The burner control knob
should be in the OFF position.
If the grill fails to ignite when you push the burner
control knob in and turn it slowly, you will need to
pinpoint where the problem is occurring: with the gas
flow or with the ignition system. Begin by attempting
to match light your burner. Refer to "BURNER
E
IGNITION – Lighting with a Match". If match lighting
is successful, the problem lies in the SNAP-JET gas
ignition system.
MAINTAINING THE IGNITION
COMPONENTS
1. Confirm that grill is off and cool.
2. Check that the black wire is connected to the red
terminal on the valve (A).
3. Check that the white wire is connected to the
ground terminal at screw (B).
