Care & Cleaning
WarnInG
Always perform the following periodic inspections and preventive
maintenance procedures to prevent flashback fires from occurring
and to assure that your Grill will operate properly:
1. Always allow sufficient time for the Grill to cool to a safe tempera-
ture before handling or cleaning any of its components.
2. Always inspect all of the burners frequently, and clean them as
often as is necessary.
3. Always inspect the air shutter screen periodically to confirm that
it is clear of food residue, spider webs or other insect debris. A
clogged venturi tube can cause a fire to occur beneath the Grill,
due to a flashback of gas. (Fig. 15)
4. Loosen the burner attachment screws (from inside) to allow the
burners to be pulled away from the valves far enough for a venturi
brush or suitable cleaning device to be inserted into the burner
venturi to clean away debris. (Fig. 15) Be careful not to damage
the electrode ceramics.
5. Use a wire brush or toothpick to clean the ports all around the
sides of the burner. (Fig. 16) It is normal for some surface rust to
appear on the burner. Severe rusting can enlarge the gas ports,
however, which could cause changes in the Grill's performance.
6. Reinstall the burners properly over the valves. (Fig. 20)

WarnInG
An impairment of flow through the venturi tube could
cause a fire to occur beneath the Grill, due to a flash-
back of gas.
Always keep all ports on the sides of the burner open
(Fig. 16) by periodically cleaning them with a wire brush
or toothpick.
