Cleaning The Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts
of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting

1. Turn gas OFF at control knob.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on
the burner configuration.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use
the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light
weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run
the hook through burner tube several times.(B) Use
a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner
tube several times.(C) Wear eye protection: Use an
air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the
burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes
out each hole.
4. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
5. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
6. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
7. Attach electrode to burner.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

Meat and poultry cooked on a griddle or oven
often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat
thermometer to ensure food has reached a safe
internal temperature. Cut into food to check for visual
signs of being done.
Whole poultry should reach 165°F/74°C. Juices should
run clear and flesh should not be pink.
Hamburgers made of any ground meat or
poultry should reach 160°F/71°C, and be brown in the
middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks,
roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°F/63°C. All
cuts of pork should reach 160°F/71°C.
NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish
cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful
bacteria.
When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats
like hot dogs, grill to 165°F/64°C , or until steaming hot.
