Storing Your Grill - Sears Kenmore PG-40406S0L Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on drip
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in 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
surfaces while grill is hot.
•Drip Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the drip drippings from the
Drip Tray and Drip Cup. When the grill has completely cooled
down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide the tray
out of the grill. Clean the drip drippings from the cup and tray
surfaces by washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Slide the tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into
the tray before using the grill again.
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.
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 venturi's.
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 venturi 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 assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Storing Your Grill

•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer once available.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.

Cleaning the 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 cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners. See Fig. A next page.
4. 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.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
7. 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 reengage valve
openings. See illustrations below.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin. See Fig. B next
page.
10. Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates.
