4. Remove the Cooking Grids and Heat Diffusers
from your grill.
5. Remove the screws from the rear of each Main
Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
Remove screws along all sides of the Infra-red
Burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

8. Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three
cleaning methods:
[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and

[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through
the Burner and out the Ports.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong Burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of each Burner until free of food
residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or
holes) and if such damage is found, order and
install a new Burner. After installation, check
to ensure that the Gas Valve Orifices are
correctly placed inside the ends of the Burner
Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark
Electrode.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve
Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your grill. See Figure 1. If the
Orifice is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting
the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire
resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property
damage.
