TO CLEAN BURNER TUBE, INSERT HOOK HERE

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see CAUTION at left) clean the BurnerTubes and

Burnersbefore fully assemblingyour grill. Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside

of each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Odfice, then refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaningmethods:

1. Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

works well) into a small hook as shown

below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove

any debris.

. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.

Run the brush through the Burner Tube and

inside the Burner several times, removing any debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each

BurnerTube. The forced air should pass

debds or obstructions throughthe Burnerand out the Ports.
