To avoid thepossibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. A leak test must be performedannually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or gas smell is present.Maintenance InstructionsWe recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person.Burner: The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive environmentcan cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an insectscreen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner but does notentirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow or orange flameor cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To clean the inside of the burner,it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that attaches the burner to the back wall. Slidethe burner back and up wards to remove. Cleaning: Use a flexible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of theburner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve orificesfor blockages. Burner ports can close over time due to cooking debris and corrosion, use an opened paperclipor the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cordlessdrill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the burnerinstalled. Do not flex the drill bit when drilling the ports, as this will cause the drill bit to break. This drill is forburner ports only, not for the brass orifices (jets) which regulate the flow into the burner. Take care not to enlargethe holes. Ensure the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris.Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner wheninstalling.
