Disconnect electrode wire underneath appliance, shown C.
Remove screws and disengage front legs from appliance.
Remove screws and disengage control panel assembly and heat shield from unit, shown D.
Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you.
- Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several times.
- Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.
- Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
Carefully replace heat shield and control panel assembly .
Reattach electrode wire to ignitor.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F.
Reattach front legs. Carefully stand the unit upright.
Reposition inner liner, cooking basket.

General Appliance Cleaning

Clean appliance often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surface while appliance is hot. Appliance should be cleaned at least once a year.
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a appliance cleaner with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply caustic appliance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouringpowder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while the appliance is hot.
