Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the
burner tubes, obstructing the gas ow. Sometimes this results in a
type of re in and around the gas tubes called “ashback”. To reduce
the risk of ashback, this procedure should be followed at least once
a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period
of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas
control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.
The burners can be removed by removing the keeper pins and lifting
them out. The keeper pins are located under the grill toward the back.
They are used to keep the burners in place during shipping and are
not necessary to operate your grill. Remove burners from the grill by
carefully lifting each burner up and away from the gas valve orice.
Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of each burner to remove
food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as
an opened paper clip.
Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and holes). If any damage is
found, replace the burner and discontinue grill usage.
Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orices for cleanliness and
condition and the location of the igniters. When you replace the
burners, you do not need to replace the keeper pins.
Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just as you would
for any cooking equipment. A stiff wire brush or steel wool may also be
helpful in removing grime and food deposits.
Do not use a wire brush or stainless steel on any other
part of your grill or any other stainless steel surface except
the cooking grates or the griddle!
Note
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area.
The pan should be cleaned after every use to avoid the possibility of a
grease re. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You
may clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure
to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.
