Cleaning the Main Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP Tank.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove electrode from burner by prying the clip away
as shown in Figure A. Electrode should remain in
firebox.
4. Remove hitch pins and flame carryover tubes from front
of burners as shown in Figure B.
5. Remove remaining hitch pins from rear of burner to
disengage burner from bracket on firebox.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve
openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the
one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight 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.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
9. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve
openings. See illustrations at right.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach electrode to burner.
12. Attach burners to brackets
on firebox.
13. Reposition flame carryover
tubes and attach to burners.
Replace heat tents
and
cooking grates.

CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
Important: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A
venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build
nests.
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER TUBE
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.
VALVE
CONTROL PANEL
Spiders or small insects have been known to create "flashback"
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the
grill's venturi 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 venturi tube assembly should be removed from the grill
and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an
extended period.
CAUTION
Do not remove glass for cleaning.
Glass is not dishwasher safe.
