BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
• Although your burner is constructed of brass and cast iron, it may corrode as a result of the extreme
heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and other
signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners
and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the side burner. To clean the Burner Assembly
follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting
the side burner.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and natural gas supply.
2. Remove cooking grate.
3. Remove cotter pin from beneath the burner "foot" using a
screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
4. Carefully lift the burner up and away from valve opening.
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook
to run through the burner tube and remove brass ring to clean
flame port openings.
Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 6.
6. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
8. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found
replace burner.
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over
valve nozzle.
9. Carefully replace burner.
10. Replace cotter pin beneath the burner and follow the "Gas Leak
Testing" section of this manual. Relight burner to verify proper operation.
11. Replace cooking grate.
COOKING GRATE
• Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to
remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces.
BEFORE STORING YOUR SIDE BURNER:
• Ensure that the natural gas supply has been turned off.
• Clean all surfaces.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the hose from the natural gas supply.
• 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.
