Cleaning the Main Burner Assembly
Follow these instructionsto clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LPTank.
2.
Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3.
Remove electrode from burner by prying the clip away as
shown in Figure Ao Electrode should remain in firebox.
4.

burners as shown in Figure Bo
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.
J
(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.

General
Grill Cleaning
* Do not mistake
brown or black accumulation
of grease
and smoke for paint.
Interiors of gas grills are not
painted
at the factory
(and should never be painted).
Apply
a strong solution of detergent
and water
or use a
grill cleaner
with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not
apply
a caustic grill/oven
cleaner
to painted or glass
surfaces.
* Plastic parts: Wash
with warm soapy water
and wipe
dry.Do
not use citrisol,
abrasive
cleaners, degreasers
or
a concentrated
grill cleaner
on plastic parts. Damage
to and failure of parts can result.
" Porcelain
surfaces:
Because of glass-like
composition,
most residue can be wiped
away with baking
soda/water
solution
or specially
formulated
cleaner.
Use nonabrasive
scouring
powder
for stubborn
stains.
" Painted surfaces: Wash
with mild detergent

To maintain
your grill's high

direction
of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use
abrasive
pad on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces:
If a bristle brush is used to clean any
of the grill cooking
surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles
remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling.
It is not
recommended
to clean cooking
