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

Searing Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

Valve Orifice.
7. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath
the grill.
8. Refer to Figure 1 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

Care & Use Instructions
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend that you also complete the follow-
ing cleaning regimens to help prolong Burner life.
After each use of the main grill or searing cooking zone it
is necessary to burn off food particles and drippings which
can clog Burner ports and reduce Burner perfor-mance.
OPEN the grill Lid, ignite the burner(s) and operate grill on
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. DO NOT use a stiff
brush or sharp tool of any type on the searing burner.
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, make sure the Orifices are
inside the Burner Tubes before using your grill.
See figure. If the Orifice is not inside the Burner
Tube, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/
or fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
