CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ORIFICE CLEANING:
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no
blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
See Fig. 65.
Note:
When replacing grill burners or orifices following cleaning, con-
firm orifice penetration into burner as shown in Fig. 66.
WARNING:
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE BURNER ON
THE ORIFICE PROPERLY TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD OR
EXPLOSION (FIG. 66).

(unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the
cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner Fig. 66
box. Make sure it is level and does not rock. Light all of
the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are necessary, refer to page 22. Do this
prior to using the appliance.
The side burner will give you years of trouble free service if properly maintained. Burner hangers are made from
non-rusting high grade stainless steel. The burner is heavy duty cast iron and brass. The venturi tube is brass.
SIDE BURNER GRATE
The side burner grate is porcelain enamel over cast
iron for durability. To avoid burns, do not clean a hot
grate. They may be wiped while in place with hot,
soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry thoroughly.
Never immersea hot grate in water. Due to rapid
temperature changes the porcelain may pop off the
edges of the grates. If the grates develop chips, do
not be concerned as the base metal, cast iron, soon
darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Use
care when wiping areas where the enamel has
popped off, the edges may be sharp. If cleaning
necessitates grate removal, care should be taken in
lifting them. They are very heavy. Be sure to place
them on a protected surface.
SIDE BURNERS
For proper lighting and performance, keep the
burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if
they do not light even though the igniter clicks, if
there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame
does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are
in the "OFF" position before attempting to clean the
burners. The burners have been designed for ease of
cleaning. When the grate and burners are cool,
remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port
ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot
soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner
