Spider and
insect
warning
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking
center and making it unsafe for use.
You should inspect the burners at least once
a year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill or range-top burners do not reach
temperature.
3. The grill or range-top burners heat unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exists, clean the burners immediately.
Replacing
a rotary
igniter
Before replacing an igniter, perform this
simple test.
1. Remove the drip tray (if included).
2. From underneath the valve panel, look
upwards and locate the end of the igniter
wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the
wire and place the metal blade of a
screwdriver about 1/8″ from the terminal
of the rotary igniter.
3. Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,
a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.
If there is no spark, replace the igniter.
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the
electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine
the electrode for grease and debris or see if
the electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking
to the top of the electrode bracket?
The rotary igniter may be replaced from the
front by removing the drip pan (if included)
and reaching behind the valve panel to unplug
the igniter wire. Remove the igniter knob and
the two mounting screws. (Reverse the
procedure to replace.) If removing the valve
panel is necessary, begin by removing all the
control knobs, then remove the 4 corner
screws of the valve panel.

Burner
removal
(on some models)
Ensure the gas supply is off, the knobs are
in the OFF position and all surfaces are cool
before removing a burner.
The grill and range-top burners are cast iron
coated with porcelain enamel. Occasionally
it will be necessary to remove surface rust to
ensure proper performance. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on the climate and
location and how often you use the cooking
center. The walls of the burners are thick so
they can withstand many years of use.
To remove the grill burner(s), first remove the
grill rack(s). Then, depending on your model,
lift out the Gourmet Radiant™ Trays or the
stainless steel radiant trays with lava rocks or
ceramic briquette still on them. Remove wire
shipping ties if present. Pull the burner up and
slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner
head comes off the brass orifice at the front.
Angle the burner sideways and remove.
(24″ models have two grill burners.)
