CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean
the Burner Tubes as follows at least once a month in
summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your
area, and if your side burner has not been used for an
extended period of time.
1.
Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2.
Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
For Natural Gas, shut off NG valve.
Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from LP gas
3.
tank.
4.
Remove the Pot Support from your side burner.
5.
Remove the screws from underside of the side burner
body using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
6.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas
Valve Orifice.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and
7.
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath
the side burner.
8. Refer to the figure below and perform one of these
three cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger
into a small hook as shown and run the hook
through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove debris.

METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.
METHOD 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.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend that you also complete the follow-
ing cleaning regimens to help prolong Burner life.

Use a nylon brush, blower or vacuum to remove accu-
mulated 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.
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.
WARNING
!
For safe operation, make sure the Orifices are
inside the Burner Tubes before using your side
burner. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause explo-
sion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily injury
and/or property damage.
Side Burner
WARNING
!
Ÿ
Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily
injury, death or property damage.
Never cover the Pot Support, bottom of the side burner
body, or Grease Tray with charcoal, aluminum foil, sand,
or any substance that can absorb grease.
Ÿ
Before each use of your Side Burner: Inspect the
Grease Tray and inside of the Side Burner body to be
sure there is no excessive grease and debris buildup.
Clean the Grease Tray and inside of the Side Burner
body frequently to eliminate grease/debris build-up and
to prevent grease fires.
Ÿ
Use your side burner at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your side burner at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt or catch
fire (such as vinyl, wood siding, fences and overhangs)
or sources of ignition (including pilot lights on water
heaters and live electrical appliances).
Ÿ
Never use your side burner in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Ÿ
Your side burner will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your side burner.
Never lean over cooking areas while using side burner.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing or
other parts while side burner is in operation, or until the
side burner has cooled down after use.
