Proper Care And Maintenance; Cleaning And Maintenance - Brinkmann 810-3821-S Manual Del Propietário

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly clean and covered at all times
when not in use. A grill cover may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling
800-527-0717 (U.S. only).
• Wash cooking grills, charcoal grate and heat distribution plates with hot, soapy water, rinse well and
dry. Lightly coat grills with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
• Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting. Do not coat charcoal grate or charcoal
ash tray.
• The stainless steel exterior surface of your grill, can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or
fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature re sis tant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned,
then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under
Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or
after extended periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with
hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse
completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
• Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme
heat and acids from cooking foods or from the climate your grill is exposed to. Regularly inspect the
burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects
building their nests or from grease build up. Blocked burner tubes
can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner
tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly
follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.
3. Remove screw from each burner "foot" using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
