WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
When cleaning the inside of the hood and grill bottom, use
a strong solution of detergent and water with a scrub brush
to clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. NEVER use
a caustic grill cleaner on painted or cooking surfaces.
All plastic parts, stainless-steel and painted surfaces, should
be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry. Cook-
ing surfaces should be cleaned with a bristle brush only.
Check that no loose bristles remain on the cooking grates
prior to using.
Cooking grates:
Clean before and after each use with a stiff wire brush.
Heat tent:
Scrape any build up off the heat tent using a wire brush.
Grease:
After use, allow the grease in the cup to cool then empty
into the garbage.
Empty after each use to avoid spillage and flare ups.
CLEANING BURNER ASSEMBLY AND CHECK-
ING VENTURI FOR INSECTS
See Figures 31- 32.
DANGER:
Failure to clean the burner assembly and checking the
venturi as described can result in a fire or explosion
resulting in serious injury or death.
Burners should be cleaned when the grill has been idle
for some time. In some parts of the country, spiders and
other insects can spin webs, build nests, and lay eggs in
the venturi blocking gas flow and causing fire in the tubes
known as "flashback". Flashback can damage the grill and
even cause injury.
Turn control knobs off.
Lift and remove cooking and heat grates from inside the
grill.
Pull electrode wire from the electronic ignitor.
Lift burner up and away from the gas valve openings.

1. Bend a stiff wire into a small hook. Run the hook
through each burner tube several times.
2. Use a narrow bottle brush with flexible handle and
run through burner tubes several times. DO NOT
use a wire brush.
3. Wear eye protection then use an air hose to force
air into the burner tube and out through the burner
port. Clean any clogged port with an opened paper
clip.
