WARNING : Always observe the following safety precautions, to prevent bodily injury and to assure that your
Grill will operate properly :
• Always allow sufficient time for the Grill to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
Burners
NOTE : All of the burners should be inspected
frequently and cleaned as often as is necessary.
• Main Burner
WARNING : Always inspect the air shutter screen
periodically to confirm that it is clear of food
residue, spider webs or other insect debris. A
clogged venturi tube can cause a fire to occur
beneath the Grill, due to a flashback of gas
(see Fig. 16).
NOTE : Remove the cooking Grills and the sear
plates to inspect the burner at least once per year,
or more frequently if required.
Loosen the burner attachment screws (from
inside) to allow the burners to be pulled away
from the valves far enough for a ventuti brush or
suitable cleaning device to be inserted into the
burner venturi to clean away debris (see Fig. 16).
Be careful not to damage the electrode ceramics.
Reinstall the burners properly over the valves (see
Fig. 22). Use a wire brush or toothpick to clean the
ports all around the sides of the burner (see Fig.
18). It is normal for some surface rust to appear
on the burner. Severe rusting can enlarge the gas
ports, however, which could cause changes in the
Grill’s performance.
