It is possible
that very small
insects
could
make
webs
or nest in the venturi
tubes.
This
will partially
or completely
block the flow of
gas through
the venturi
and is indicated
by
a smoky
yellow
flame,
and/or
a burner
that
is difficult
or impossible
to light. Ultimately,
it
may cause
the gas to burn outside
the venturis,
which
can
cause a fire resulting
in damage
to your
grill and potential
personal
injury. IF THIS
HAPPENS
IMMEDIATELY
SHUT
OFF THE PROPANE
AT CYLINDER,
OR NATURAL
GAS
AT MAIN
SHUT-OFF
VALVE.
When
the grill has cooled,
follow
the "Cleaning
Venturi
tubes"
steps
CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE
BURNER:
At least twice
a year,
clean your burner
when cleaning
the
venturi
tubes.
The burner
can be gently
scraped
clean with
a brass
bristle
brush.
Ensure
that all burner
ports
(openings)
are clear
(DO NOT ENLARGE
BURNER
PORTS).
If you find
cracks,
abnormal
holes,
or damage
caused
by corrosion
during
your
inspection
and cleaning,
replace
burner
with appropriate
part as listed
on the part list.
IGNITOR:
Clean
the ignitor
clip lightly
using
a wire brush
to remove
rust and grease.
DO NOT USE WATER
OR CLEAN
THE
ELECTRODES.
Visually
inspect the ceramic
of the electrode
for cracks.
The electrode
can be wiped
with a soft cloth if
necessary.
If a crack is found,
a replacement
ignitor
system
will
be required,
look for O.E.M.
ignition system
or universal
ignition
system.
CLEANING
GRIDS:
After each
use, scrub
the cooking
grids with a stiff long-handled
brass
brush.
Do not use steel brushes,
as they can scratch
the
nickel
or porcelain
coating.
Grids can also be washed
with
mild
detergent.
Never use commercial
oven
cleaners,
if rust appears
on your cooking
grids,
remove
the rust with a scrub
pad and
coat the grid with some
cooking
oil. If excessive
wear
is evident,
you might want to replace
or upgrade
your
cooking
grid.
COOKING
SYSTEM:
To clean your
Heat Distribution
Plate scrape
it with a brass
bristle
brush;
clean using soap
and water,
then
rinse and dry.
DO NOT ALLOW
EXCESSIVE
GREASE
OR OTHER
RESIDUE
TO BUILD
UP ON YOUR
COOKING
SYSTEM
AS A FIRE MAY
RESULT.
SIDE

Use any household
cleaner,
except
those
containing
acid or mineral
spirits.

cleaning.
DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING

Clean
with dish washing
liquid,
then
wipe

BOARD.
COVER YOUR GRILL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT
THE SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.
GRILL
EXTERIOR
:
The white
spots
that may appear
on the outside
of the casting
are caused
by the oxidation
of the aluminum.
This oxidation
can
usually
be removed
with soap
and water.
If not, you can repaint
the outside
casting
using hi-heat
grill paint.
GRILL
INTERIOR,
WARMING
RACK:
At least once
a year
remove
all components
from inside
your
grill. Loosen
any cooking
residue
with a scraping
tool for large
particles
and a brass
brush
for smaller
particles.
Scrub
with hot
water
and a strong
detergent,
then rinse thoroughly
or spray grill
degreaser
liberally
on all interior
surfaces.
Be sure to use gloves
and eye protection.
Let stand
for 10 minutes,
scrape
off residue
and repeat
if required.
Rinse thoroughly
with water.
Replace
all
components
as outlined
in the assembly
instructions.
DO NOT
USE DEGREASER
ON PAINTED
OR PLASTIC
SURFACES.
GREASE
TRAY:
Your grill comes
equipped
with a tray for containing
grease
that drips off your food.
This grease
tray can be accessed
from
the rear of the grill just under the base
casting.
To remove
the
grease
tray, simply
lift up on the tray and slide
it out towards
the
rear of the grill. To install the tray, guide
the front edge
of the
tray into the tray support
rails and slide
it in until the front lip of
the tray drops
down over the front edge
of the support
rails
ALWAYS BE SURE THE TRAY IS COOL WHEN REMOVING
OR INSTALLING.
IT IS RECOMMENDED
YOU CLEAN THE GREASE TRAY
BEFORE OR AFTER EVERY USE.
STORAGE
More people
are discovering
the pleasure
of year
round grilling.
However,
if you choose
to store
your grill for the winter
or any
extended
length
of time,
follow these
steps:
• Clean
the cooking
grids,
then oil lightly with
cooking
oil, wrap
in paper
and then store
the cooking
grids indoors.
• Follow
the same
cleaning
method
above
for the burners
and
any warming
racks.
• Cover the grill if it is left outdoors.
• When
the grill is not in use, the gas must be turned
off at
the L.P. cylinder
valve
or main shut off valve,
and stored
outdoors
in a well-ventilated
area.
With a Propane
appliance
you can store the grill inside,
PROVIDED
the cylinder
is removed
from the grill and
stored
outdoors
in a well-ventilated
area, out of the reach
of
children.
When
the cylinder
is disconnected
from the grill,
ensure
the cylinder
valve
safety
cap is firmly
in place.
After
a period
of storage
or non-use,
a leak test
should
be
performed
and the burner
venturis
cleaned
prior
to use.
