Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
Additionally, proper preventive maintenance is required for your own safety.
• Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear any blockages in the tubes that lead into the
burner(s). Examples of blockages include food grease, outdoor debris, and residue from
insects.
• Keep your outdoor grill and side burner area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep all objects away from
vents.
Cleaning the Burner(s)
1. After ensuring that the gas is shut off and the burner is cool to handle, remove the burner
from the firebox. First, make sure to disconnect the ignition wires.
Caution: Always ensure that the gas supply is fully turned off prior to performing any
cleaning and maintenance on your side burner. All burner knobs should also be in the
“OFF” position. Never attempt to clean parts of the side burner while they are still hot.
Tip: After every use of your side burner, once you are done, turn the burners to the
HIGH setting for up to five (5) minutes to burn off food residue, drippings, and grease.
Do NOT leave the burners on for more than five minutes and do not leave the side
burner unattended during this time.
Caution:
• For proper functionality, use pots that are between 4-3/4” and 8-3/4” in diameter.
• Allow the side burner to heat up to appropriate temperatures before attempting
to cook foods, particularly those that are unsafe to consume unless they reach a
minimum internal temperature.
WARNING:
• Do not line the drip tray with aluminum foil as this poses a fire risk.
