FIRE you must
clean the burner
tubes as follows
periodically
in summer
and fall, wherever
spiders
are active in your area, and if
your grill has not been used for an extended
period
of
time.
1.

5.
Turn all burner control
knobs to the "OFF" position.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF" position.
Disconnect
the LP gas regulator
assembly
from the
LP gas tank.
Remove the cooking
grates,
heat tents,
and
warming
rack from the grill.
Remove the screw from the rear of each burner
using a Phillips
head screwdriver.
Carefully
lift each burner
up and away from the gas
valve orifice.
Check and clean burner
tubes
for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath
the grill.
Use one of these three cleaning
methods:
METHOD
1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger
into a small hook as shown and run the
hook through
the burner
tube and inside the
burner
several
times to remove
debris.
METHOD
2: Use a bottle
brush with a flexible
handle
and run the brush through
the burner
tube and inside the burner
several times to
remove
any debris.
METHOD
3: 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. Always
wear eye
protection
if using this method.
Figure 1
TO CLEAN
BURNER
TUBE.
Burner
Ports
Small insects,
such as spiders,
are able to access the
burner
tubes.
Sometimes
they will build nests or spin
webs. In either
case, this can block or reduce
the
amount
of gas flowing
through
the burner.
You will
usually
see a smaller
flame, or a flame that
is mostly
yellow
rather than blue, coming from the burner
when
this happens.
Other signs include
the gill not heating
evenly,
not reaching
temperature,
or burners
not
igniting.
In cases with severe
blockage,
this can cause
the flame to burn backwards,
and outside of the burner
tubes, which
can cause damage
to your
grill and/or
3ersonal
injury.
IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE
FLOW OF GAS AT THE LP TANK OR NATURAL
GAS
VALVE SHOULD
THIS
HAPPEN,
Wait for the grill to
cool, and then clean all burners.
Regardless
of the 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.
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 electrodes.
4.
Never enlarge
the burner
ports during
cleaning.
For safe operation
ensure
the gas valve assembly
orifice
is inside the burner
tube before using your
grill. See figure.
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.
Burner
Tube
BURNER
FLAMES
Always
inspect the burner
flame
after lighting.
A
good flame should
be primarily
blue with a yellow
tip
and have a minimum
amount
of noise.
Some yellow
tips are OK if under one inch. New burners
sometimes
have oil residue,
which
will cause yellow
flame
when burning
off. Variations
in gas supply,
altitude,
weather,
and other factors
can all impact
burner
performance.
Older grills can also show more
yellow
flame as food deposits,
oils, and fats can build
up.
