Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" you must
clean the Burner Tubes at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active
or when your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time.
1. Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas Tank Valve to the full OFF position.
Detach the LP gas Hose and Regulator Assembly
3.
from your gas grill or disconnect the Quick Discon-
nect Hose from the Natural Gas source.
4. Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers, and
Grease Trays from your grill.
Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
5.
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
6.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the gas
Valve Orifice.
7. Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three
cleaning methods:
•
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown below.
Run the hook through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times to remove any
debris.
•
Use a Burner Cleaning Brush or a bottle brush
with a flexible handle. Run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several
times, removing any debris.
•
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 wire 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 insure
that the Gas Valve Orifices are correctly placed
inside the ends of the Burner Tubes. Also check
the position of your Spark Electrode.
!
The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check
to ensure the Orifice is inside of the Burner
Tube before using your gas grill. See Figure
2. If the Burner Tube does not fit over the
Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.
