Regardless of which cleaning procedure you use, we sug-
gest you complete the following steps to prolong burner life.

Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if
such damage is found, order and install a new burner.
After installation, check to insure that gas valve
orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner
tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
Bend a stiff wire (a lightweight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube and into the burner several times.
Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube and into the burner several times.
Use an air hose to force air through the burner tube and
out through the burner ports. Observe each port and
make sure air comes out every hole.
CLEANING THE GREASE TRAY
Periodically, the grease tray should be emptied and washed
in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of Grill Housing
Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for
instant use, however, once a year you should give the entire
grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.

Cover the gas valve orifices with a piece of aluminum foil.
Brush the grill bowl with a stiff wire brush, then wash with
mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
Remove foil from orifices and check for obstruction.

6.
Turn the burner valve off.
Turn gas off at tank. (Turn clockwise to stop.)
Detach the regulator assembly from tank valve by
turning the quick coupling nut counter-clockwise.
Remove and clean (as explained before) the cooking
grids, flame tamers and burners.
Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions

IMPORTANT: DO NOT line the grill bowl with aluminum foil,
sand or any absorbent substance that could prevent drain-
age to grease collector tray. A grease fire could occur.
Exterior Painted Steel Surfaces:
Much of your grill is made of heavy steel and should provide
years of trouble-free service. Should you decide to touch
up any scratches in the paint which may occur with use,
a touch-up paint designed for use with high temperature is
available. Follow these steps for best paint results:

Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line
from gas valve manifold. Protect fuel line fitting.
Remove loose paint by lightly sanding surface(s) with
a medium grit emery cloth or a fine grit sandpaper.
Remove any dirt or grease by washing the surface(s)
with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Rinse with clean water and allow surface to dry
thoroughly or wipe the area with vinegar.
Apply touch-up paint, following instructions on can.
Allow paint to air dry completely, and apply a second
coat if necessary. IMPORTANT: Let paint dry for 24
hours before using gas grill.

Occasionally observe burner flame for correct operation.

Check for proper position of electrode tip. The tip of the
electrode should be pointing toward the tip of the
collector box. The gap between the spark electrode
and the tip of the gas collector box should be 3/16".
Replace burners and adjust spark electrode collector
box. Edge of collector box should overlap burner port.

Replace flame tamers, cooking grids.
Reconnect to gas source and observe burner flame for
correct operation.

Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Daily weathering and high heat associated with grill cooking
can cause exterior stainless surfaces to "tan". Follow these
directions for best results, and NEVER clean a hot grill.

Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line
from gas valve manifold. Protect fuel line fitting.
Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth, then polish
stainless surfaces with a Foam Spray cleaner designed
for stainless steel. Never use an abrasive cleaner or
scrubber that may scratch your stainless surfaces.
Dry with a soft cloth and let air dry before restarting grill.
