17CARE AND MAINTENANCEThe side burner will give you years of trouble free service if properly maintained. The body panels and front valvepanel and burner hanger are made from non-rusting high grade stainless steel. The burner is heavy duty cast ironand brass. The venturi tube is brass.STAINLESS STEELThere are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrub-bing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeablescratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain.SIDE BURNER GRATEThe side burner grate is porcelain enamel over cast iron for durability. To avoid burns, do not clean a hot grate.They may be wiped while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry thoroughly. Never immerse ahot grate in water. Due to rapid temperature changes the porcelain may pop off the edges of the grates. If thegrates develop chips, do not be concerned as the base metal, cast iron, soon darkens to blend with the porce-lain enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the enamel has popped off, the edges may be sharp. If cleaningnecessitates grate removal, care should be taken in lifting them. They are very heavy. Be sure to place them on aprotected surface.DRIP TRAYA stainless steel drip tray with a stainless steel handle is locatedunder the burner.It collects any boil-overs or spills. Pull forward to remove. Spills should bewashed off as soon as possible to prevent baked on soil.BURNERSFor proper lighting and performance, keep the burners clean. It isnecessary to clean the burners if they do not light even thoughthe igniter clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, orwhen the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burnerknobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the burners.The burners have been designed for ease of cleaning. Whenthe grate and burners are cool, remove the grate. Theburner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off.Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Theburner caps are porcelain enamel, follow the directions that aregiven for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out thetoothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important tomake sure the location pins on the bottom side of the port ring areproperly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base. Incor-rect alignment will produce a potentially dangerousflame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 12).ELECTRODESWipe with a water dampened cotton swab.
