To reducethe chance
of "FLASH-BACK"
(see
CAUTION
on page 3) clean the burner tubes and
burners before
fully assembling
your grill. Remove
the cotter pin from the rear underside
of each
burner using a pair of long nose pliers. Carefully
lift each burner up and away from the gas valve
orifice, then refer to Figure
1 and perform one of
these three cleaning methods:
1. 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.
,.}
2. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.
Run
the brush through the burner tube and inside
the burner several times, removing any debris.
3. 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.
WARNI NG
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.
