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 grill 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.
3. Detach
the LP Gas regulator
assembly
from your
gas grill.
4.
Remove
the Cooking
Grids, Savor
Plates
TM
and
Grease
Trays from your grill.
5. Remove
the screw
from the rear of each Burner
using
a Phillips
Head Screwdriver.
6. Carefully
lift each Burner
up and away from the
Gas 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 out
the Ports.
Regardless
of which
Burner
cleaning
procedure
you
use, we recommend
you also complete
the following
steps to help prolong
Burner
life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush
to clean
the entire
outer surface
of each Burner
until free of food
residue
and dirt.
2. Clean
any clogged
ports
with a stiff wire,
such as
an open
paper
clip.
3.
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
ensure
the
Gas
Valve
Assembly
Orifice
is inside
the
Burner
Tube
before
using
your
grill.
See
figure,
if the
Orifice
is not
inside
the
Burner
Tube,
lighting
the
Burner
may
cause
explosion
and/or
fire
result-
ing
in serious
bodily
injury
and/or
property
damage.
