We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hangerworks well)

tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush witha flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brushthrough each
burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hoseto force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with astiffwire such as an open
