Stainless
Steel Surfaces:
To maintain
your grill's high
quality
appearance,
wash with mild detergent
and
warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth
after each use. Baked on grease deposits may require
the use of an abrasive
plastic cleaning
pad. Use only
in direction
of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do
not use abrasive
pad on areas with graphics.
®
Do not allow
dirt and grease to accumulate
on
stainless steel.
®
Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the
surface.
®
Many
products
and naturally
occurring
substances
in the outdoors
will damage
all
stainless steel finishes. Use caution
so they do not
come in contact
with your grill. These include,
but
are not limited
to, pool chemicals
(chlorine
and
bromine),
lawn fertilizer,
ice melting
salts, sea
and salt water, urine, bird droppings,
and tree
sap.
®
Store your grill 50 to 100 feet away from a pool
as many pool chemicals will cause rust.
Cooking Surfaces:
Clean cooking
surfaces with a soft
bristle brush. Make sure that no loose bristles remain
on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling.
It is not
recommended
to clean cooking
surface while grill is
hot.
Spider Alert
If you notice that your grill
is getting
hard to light or
that the flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the
time to check and clean the burner tubes.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create
"flashback"
problems.
The spiders spin their webs,
build nests, and lay eggs in the grill's burner tube(s)
obstructing
the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-
up gas can ignite in the burner tube behind the control
panel. This is known as a flashback
and it can damage
your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance,
the burner and burner tube assembly
should be
removed
from the grill and cleaned
before use
whenever
the grill has been idle for an extended
period.
Cleaning
the Burner
Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and / or replace
parts
of the burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the
grill.
1.
Turn gas off at control
knobs and LP tank.
2.
Remove the cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3.
Remove the Phillips head screws located
at the back
end of each burner.
4.
Lift each burner up and out. Unplug
the electronic
igniter wire from the electrode.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the
one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a lightweight
coat hanger
works
well) into a small hook. Run the hook through
each burner
tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow
bottle
brush with a flexible
handle
(do
not use a brass wire brush). Run the brush through
each
burner tube several times.
(C) Wear
eye protection.
Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port
to make sure air comes out each hole.
5.
Use a wire brush along the entire outer surface
of
burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
6.
Clean any blocked
ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper
clip.
7.
Check burner for damage.
Due to normal wear and
corrosion,
some holes may become
enlarged.
Replace
the burner if any large cracks or holes are found.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Burner tubes must re-engage
valve
openings
(orifices).
See illustration below.

8.
Plug the electronic
igniter wires into the burner
electrodes.
9.
Carefully
replace
burner tubes ensuring that the tube
end seats over the gas valve as shown in the figure
above.
10. Secure burners to back of firebox
with Phillips head
bolts.
11. Perform a leak test described
earlier
in this guide
before
using your grill.
