Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking
surfaces while grill is hot.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER TUBE
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burners.
CONTROL PANEL
CONTROL PANEL
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill's burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner
behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can
damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner
assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use
whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
Storing your grill
Clean cooking grates.
Store in dry place.
When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well ventilated space and out of reach of children.
Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a cover offered
by the manufacturer.
Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
When removing grill from storage, follow "Cleaning the
Burner Assembly" instructions before starting grill.

6. 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 each burner tube
several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use
a brass brush), run the brush through each 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.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper
clip.
9. 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.
10.Re-attach electrode to burner. Ensure ignition wire is
connected.
11.Carefully replace burners. VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes
must re-engage valve opening.
12.Re-attach burners to brackets inside burner box.
13.Reposition carryover tubes and re-attach to burners.
14.Replace emitters and cooking grates.
