How to Clean the Burners:
A) Make sure the LP cylinder grill control knobs are turned
OFF; and the grill is completely cooled.
B) Carefully remove Cooking Grids and Flame Diffusers.
C) To remove main burners, remove the burner pin from
each burner peg located at rear end of burner. (FIG. 20A)
Leave side burner in place. (See G.)
D) Lift each main burner from the grill. (FIG. 20B) Gently pull
the burner mouth away from the valve nozzle. (FIG. 20C)
E) Use a pipe cleaner to clear insect nests from the inlet hole
of main burner (FIG. 20D) and side burner ventilation hole.
FIG. 20E)
F) Open up the main burner holes (FIG. 20D) and the side
burner holes (FIG. 20F) with a small nail or wire. Use a
brass wire brush to remove food particles and corrosion
from the burner surfaces. Note: It is normal for surface rust
to be present on the burners.) It can be wire brushed and
coated with cooking oil periodically. Verify that there are no
insects or insect nests blocking the inlet hole.
G) Check the side burner electrode to see if it is loose. If so,
tighten the screw holding the electrode to maintain 3/16”
gap between electrode tip and side burner. Note: Before
next step you may wish to clean the rest of the Grill. (See
Grill Body and Cabinet)
H) After cleaning, refit the Burners. Note: When refitting the
Burners, be sure each burner is positioned correctly. The
valves should protrude inside the venturi ends of the
burner. (FIG. 20C) Replace the Burner pin under each
burner.
I) If grill is to be stored, coat Burners lightly with cooking oil
and wrap in a protective cover to keep insects out.
J) Check burner operation after re-assembly.
K) Replace Flame Diffusers and Cooking Grids.
Make sure the screw holding the electrode underneath
is tight so 3/16” gap between electrode tip and side
burner is maintained.
