Seasonal Cleaning

If you haven't used your grill in a few months, we recommend that you clean the burners and the interior
of your grill. Cleaning the burners periodically will keep them burning evenly and cleanly and help prevent
"flashback", a type of fire in and around the gas tubes. This happens when spiders and small insects inhabit or
make nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow.
IMPORTANT: Before removing the burners, turn OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel
supply, and disconnect the fuel line .
1 . Remove the components
Remove the racks, the flavor bars, and the flame
tamers from the grill and set them aside. They don't
need to be in the grill in order to clean them. In fact,
all of the items can be cleaned in a dishwasher if you
wish.
Leave the drip pan in place for now.
2 . Remove the burners
The burners can be removed by taking out the locking pins and
carefully lifting them up and away from the valve orifice. The
locking pins are located under the grill toward the back. They are
used to keep the burners in place during shipping and are not
necessary to operate your grill.
3 . Clean the burners
Use a wire brush to clean the outer
surface of each burner to remove food
residue and dirt. Clean any clogged
ports with a stiff wire such as an
opened paper clip.
Make sure the flow channel is clear.
The flow channel is the narrow slot
on the bottom of the burner near the
anchor post.
Inspect each burner for damage, such as cracks and
holes. If any damage is found, don't use the grill until
you replace the burner.
