- Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal
scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
- Please note that if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the
burner, you will need to call our customer service line.
VERY IMPORTANT: The orifice of the valve must be located in the center of the
burner section after removal and cleaning. Otherwise, it may cause serious bodily
injury and property damage. Swing the burner slightly after replacing to check
whether it has been installed properly.
