ANNUAL CLEANING OF POWER BURNER HOUSING
Burn-off the barbecue after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use, however, once a year you
should give the entire power burner a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line. Re-protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove and clean the cooking grid.
3. Cover the gas valve orifice (aluminum foil works well) to keep debris from getting inside.
4. Clean out any debris, grease, etc from the unit.
5. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
6. Make sure the electrode is operating fully.
7. Reinstall cooking grid.
8. Reconnect to gas source and observe burner flame for correct operation.
IMPORTANT:
You should NOT line the bottom of the power burner housing with aluminum foil, sand
or any other grease absorbent substance. Grease will not be able to drip into the drip tray and a grease
fire may occur.
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
1. Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
4. Visually check burner flames. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions exist call our customer service line.
5. Clean outdoor cooking gas appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning
agents, if necessary.
6. Check and clean burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
