When
to Look for Spiders
You should
inspect
the burners
at least twice a year or
immediately
after
any of the following
conditions
Occur:
1,
The smell of gas in conjunction
with
burner
flames
appearing
yellow.
2,
The grill does not reach the temperature.
3,
The grill heats
unevenly.
4.
The burners
make
popping
noise.
Cleaning
the
Main
Burners
1.
Ensure the LP gas is turned
off at the LP cylinder.
2.
Remove
the cooking
grates
and heat diffusers.
3.
Remove
the Phillips
head screws
located
at the
back end of each burner.
4.
Lift each burner
up and out.
5.
Clean the inside of the burner
using a stiff wire.
A straightened
coat hanger
is one suggested
tool.
An alternative
way to clean the inside of the
burner
is using compressed
air. Always
wear eye
protection
if using this method.
Never
enlarge
the
burner
ports
during
cleaning,
6.
Brush the outer
surface
of the burner.
7.
Ensure
all ports
(holes)
are free of all debris.
8.
Inspect
the burner.
Replace
if any cracks
or
enlarged
holes.
9.
Reinstall
the burners
making
sure the burners
seat over the valves as shown
in the figure
below.
10. Secure
the back of the burners
to the firebox
with the Phillips
head screws.
11. Replace
the heat diffusers
and cooking
grates.
12. Perform
a Leak Test described
earlier
in this
guide.
Properly
locating
the burner
with
respect
to the
orifice
is vital for safety.
Burner
Flames
Always
inspect
the burner
flame
after
lighting.
A good
flame
should
be primarily
blue with a yellow
tip and
have a minimal
amount
of noise. Some yellow
tips are
OK if under
one inch.
New burners
sometimes
have oil residue,
which
will
cause yellow
flame
when burning
off. Variations
in gas
supply,
altitude,
weather,
and other
factors
can all
impact
burner
performance.
Older
grills can also show more yellow
flame
as food
deposits,
oils, and fats can build up.

air.
3.
Keep the ventilation
