METHOD
3: Use
an air hose

air
through
each
Burner
Tube.
The
forced
air
should
pass
debris
or

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.
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
1. 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.
