a month
in summer

period
of time.

three
cleaning
methods:
[]

METHOD

an air hose
to force
air
through
each
Burner

The
forced
air

the Ports.
Regardless
of which
Burner
cleaning
procedure
you
use, we recommend
you also complete
the following
steps to help prolong

1. Use a fiber
pad or nylon brush
to clean
the entire
outer surface
of each Burner
until free of food
residue
and dirt.
2.
Clean
any clogged
ports with
a stiff wire, such
as
an open
paper
clip.
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.
