Inspect and clean the burners regularly. Remove
grill components from the grill bottom necessary to
get to the burner inside. Use a wire bristle brush to
clean the burner surface. A straightened paper clip is
useful to remove debris or rust from the small burner
ports.
Spiders and other insects are known to sometimes
build homes inside the burner tubes. This can
become a serious problem. A spider web or wasp
nest inside the burner tube can block gas flow and
can cause a fire at the gas control valve. Such a fire
can cause operator injury and do serious damage to
your grill. The burner tubes have fine screens to
discourage spiders and insects from building a nest
inside. However, some very small spiders may spin
webs inside the tubes.
Inspect the burner tubes if a blockage is suspected.
First, disconnect and remove the fuel source from
the grill.
Next detach and remove the burner from grill
bottom by lifting from the back, rotating and sliding
out the front of the tube. Make sure to disconnect
the igniter wire.
Insert a long pipe cleaner (about 20" long) inside
the burner tubes to loosen and remove blockages.
Use care so as not to damage the screens inside the
tubes. A high pressured stream of water may also be
used.
CLEARING THE BURNER TUBES
If a blockage occurs inside the gas-control valve,
located behind the control panel, it may be
necessary to clear the valve orifices. Unscrew the
orifices from rear of the gas-control valve. Wash the
orifices and blow air through the small end holes.
Replace the orifices into the valve ends when they
are dry.
Replace the burners into the grill bottom after
they are clean.

Cleaning and Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Make sure the valve orifices are
inside burner tubes. Secure burner to the grill
bottom, and reconnect the igniter wires. Replace all
other parts inside grill. Reconnect the fuel cylinder to
grill. Inspect the condition and position of the gas-
supply hose.
Portable grills can be stored indoors without the
cylinder. If leaving it outdoors, cover the grill for
protection from weather.
If owner-supplied electrical accessories are used
with grill (such as an electric rotisserie), follow
specification statements included with the accessory.
Do not allow cord to touch any hot surfaces that
could melt the insulation.
IMPORTANT: If using an external electrical source,
the installed appliance must be electrically grounded
according to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Grounding Instructions: Use an appliance equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection
against shock hazard. It should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not remove the grounding prong from a three-prong
plug.
STORING AN L.P. GRILL
OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
Long detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords can also be used with care. The marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type
3 wire cord. Use outdoor extension cords with a
surface marked with suffix letters “W-A” and with a
tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances.”
Keep the connection to an extension cord away
from water and off the ground. Arrange the cord
so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled or tripped over.
Do not clean any electrical product with a water
spray or the like. Store electrical products
indoors out of reach of children when not in use.

WARNING:
Never attempt to operate your grill
without orifices in the valve. A serious and immediate
fire hazard would result.
