m CAUTION: If the barbecue gas hose is damaged in any way
or leaking, do not use the barbecue.
• Inspect the burner for the correct flame pattern(see section Burner Flame Patter).
Clean, if necessary, according to the procedures outlined in this section.
• Check all gas fittings for leaks. See section "Check For Gas Leaks" .

PERIODIC CLEANING

To remove ashes from the bowl, move control rod (1) side to side so damper blades
sweep ashes through the bowl vents and into the ash catcher.
m CAUTION: Be sure that burner is OFF and barbecue is cool
before cleaning.
Do not enlarge burner slots when cleaning.
To clean burner:
Brush the outside of the burner tube (2) and the burner slot (3) section with a wire
•
brush.
m CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner slots or the gas orifice
when cleaning.
To clean kettle:
• While lid is warm, wipe the inside with a paper towel to prevent grease buildup.
• For outer surfaces use a warm soapy water solution and rinse well with clear
water.
For a more thorough cleaning (to be done at least once a year):
A) Remove ashes after coals are fully extinguished.
B) Remove the grates and Char-Baskets™.
C) Wipe out with paper towels. Wash with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with
clear water and wipe dry.
STORAGE
• When the Performer Grill is stored indoors, the gas supply must be disconnected
and the LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
• LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• After a period of storage and/or nonuse, the barbecue should be checked for
gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before using (see section
"Maintenance").
• Check that the areas around the tank, hose and burner assembly are free from
debris that might obstruct the flow of gas or air before use.
