CLEANING THE BURNERS
1. Ensure the gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates and flame tamers.
3. Lift each burner up and out.
4. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A straightened coat hanger will work.
An alternative is to use compressed air. Always wear protective gear for your eyes when using this method.
Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
5. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
6. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of debris.
7. Inspect the burners. Replace any that have cracks or enlarged ports.
8. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
9. Perform the Leak Test described earlier in this Owner's Manual.
BURNER FLAMES
Always check the burner flame patterns after lighting. A good flame
should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimal amount
of flicker. Some yellow tips are OK if they are smaller than 2.5 cm (1").
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 due to food deposit, oil, and fat buildup.
EMPTY THE ASHES & ASH TRAY
After the fire is completely extinguished you should wait several hours before emptying the ashes to ensure they
are not hot, or else there will be risk of burns.
1. Knock any ashes that did not fall into the ash tray from the charcoal pan. (If there are pieces of partially burned
charcoal on the charcoal pan, you can save them for use the next time. They are still good).
2. Tap the sides of the chamber to loosen any ash that is on the sides.
3. Lift out the charcoal pan and empty out the cold ash. It is particularly important that you remove the ash before
moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash collects moisture, which can cause premature rusting and decay from
the inside of the ash collecting tray. Thus, over years the ash collecting tray can get rusted and damaged.
4. Give the ash tray a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
5. Place the ashes in a metal container and fill with water to ensure there are no lit coals, then you can dispose
of the ashes.
6. Let the charcoal burn out completely after grilling. This eases the cleaning effort by burning away excess fat
and BBQ residue.
7. Clean the grill regularly and optimally after every use.
8. Remove the cooking grates and clean them thoroughly with soapy water. Then dry them off thoroughly.
9. Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
10. Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when wipe them dry.
