Regardless
of which
Burner
cleaning
procedure
you
use, we recommend
you also complete
the following
steps to help prolong
Burner
life.
1. After each
use of the main
grill or infrared
cooking
zone
it is necessary
to burn off food
particles
and
drippings
which
can clog Burner
ports
and reduce
Burner
performance.
OPEN
the grill Lid, ignite the
burner(s)
and operate
grill on Hi setting
for
3 to 5 minutes.
You can close the Lid if only main
Burners
are lit, but NEVER
close
the Lid over
a lit
Infrared
Burner.
2. Use a nylon brush,
blower
or vacuum
to remove
accumulated
ash from the outer surface
of each
Burner.
Clogged
tube
style Burner
ports
can be
cleaned
with a stiff wire, such as an open
paper
clip.
DO NOT use a stiff brush
or sharp
tool of any type on
the fragile
infrared
Burner.
3. Inspect
each
Burner
for damage
(cracks
or
holes)
and if such
damage
is found,
order
and
install a new Burner.
After
installation,
check
to ensure
that the Gas Valve
Orifices
are
correctly
placed
inside
the ends of the Burner
Tubes.
Also check
the position
of your
Spark
Electrode.
For
safe
operation
ensure
the
Gas
Valve
Assembly
Orifice
is inside
the
Burner
Tube
before
using
your
grill.
See
figure.
If the
Orifice
is not
inside
the
Burner
Tube,
lighting
the
Burner
may
cause
explosion
and/or
fire
result-
ing
in serious
bodily
injury
and/or
property
damage.
