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

Use an air hose to force air through each
burner tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the burner
and out the ports.
Regardlessof whichburnercleaningprocedure you

stepsto help prolongburner life.
1. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface
of each burner untilfree offood residueand dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiffwire, such as
an open paper clip.
3.
Inspect each burnerfor damage (cracks or holes)
and ifsuch damage is found, order and installa
new burner. After installation,check to insurethat
the gas valve odfices are correctlyplaced inside
the ends of the burner tubes.Also check the
positionof your spark electrode.
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 orifice, lighting the burner may
cause explosion and/or fire.
