any clogged

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.

using
your
grill.
