BURNER PERFORMANCE & CARE
WARNING!
• IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE LIGHTING
OR OPERATING YOUR GRILL,
SHUT OFF YOUR GAS SUPPLY
VALVE IMMEDIATELY. FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 3 OF THIS
MANUAL, THEN TEST FOR LEAKS.
1. 1. Ensure the grill control valves are in the
OFF position and turn off the main gas
supply.
2. 2. Remove the cooking grates and charcoal
trays.
3. 3. Remove the burner covers.
4. 4. Remove the retaining screw and washer
securing the burner to the back of the grill
basin.
The design of your AMG grill provides superior
protection of the burners from grease, and
debris resulting from normal use. However
extended periods of non-use can allow debris
and pests as a result of being outside to
accumulate in the burner
area. In addition to removing all the ash from the
burners at least once per month as described
above, the burners should be visually inspected
at least once a year. Before aempting to
access the burners, first make sure the grill is
completely cooled.
If you have trouble lighting or properly operating
your AMG grill, please check a few of the
most common and simple conditions prior to
calling for service, or before you aempt more
significant repairs on your own.
1. Be sure that there is adequate fuel supplied
to the grill.
2. Make sure all manual shut-off valves are
fully open.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct
fuel type (LP or NG).
4. If the problem is related to the lights, or
the optional rotisserie, make sure there is
power to the grill.
BEFORE GRILLING
5. 5. Holding the burner with both hands,
carefully slide the burner toward the rear of
the grill until the venturi is clear of the valve
nozzle, then li it out of the basin.
6. 6. Visually inspect each burner to confirm it is
structurally sound and that none of the ports
are clogged.
7. 7. Shine a flashlight through the end of the
venturi to inspect for any blockages.
8. 8. Carefully clean the burner using a brass
brush. Clogged burner ports may be cleared
using compressed air, a pin, or straightened
paper clip. Do not use a wooden toothpick
or anything else that could break off and
become lodged inside burner ports.
9. 9. Aer cleaning the burners, reinstall them
into the grill by inserting the venturi air
shuer over the valve nozzle and orifice all
the way to the stop. You must make sure the
opening at the front of the burner is centered
over the brass orifice and securely engaged.
10. 10. Holding the burner in place with one hand,
align the slot in the squashed end (rear) of
the burner with the retaining screw hole and
thread the screw into the hole using your free
hand.
11. 11. Tighten the screw using a phillips head
screwdriver.
1. Carefully pull open the drip tray to it’s first
open position.
2. If the tray has water in it, place a bucket
under the drain plug large enough to hold
the water. If there is no water in the tray,
proceed to step #6 below.
3. Remove the drain plug by turning counter
clockwise and set aside.
4. Once the water has drained, open the tray
all the way.
5. Clean out the rest of the loose debris with
clean water.
6. If the drip pan is dry, you can clean out the
ash either using a vacuum, or by removing
the pan by pulling the tray all the way out
the front and dumping.
7. If there is grease in the pan clean it using a
mild cleanser such as dish soap or Simple
Green.
8. Replace the drip tray to it’s fully installed
position.
NOTE!
• Rainwater can accumulate in the
drip pan if the grill is not covered. If
you suspect the tray has water in it,
take care opening the tray to avoid
spilling the water on yourself
