CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and any other Pro Burner, which causes the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the Pro Burner and making the Pro Burner unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners once a year or if the Pro Burner has not been used for more than one month or if any of the following conditions occur:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The Pro Burner does not reach temperature.
3. The Pro Burner heats unevenly.
4. The burner makes popping noises

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
The Pro Burner is made of stainless steel construction.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial cooking use, certain areas of the Pro Burner may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the internal heat given off by the burner. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the Pro Burner.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain

PRO BURNER GRATE MAINTENANCE
The easiest way to clean the grates is to scrub them with a barbeque brush immediately after cooking is completed and the flame is turned off.
Wear a heat protective barbeque mitt to protect your hands from the heat and steam. Dip a brush in tap water and scrub the hot grates. Dip the brush frequently in tap water.
Steam, created as water comes in contact with the hot Pro Burner, helps loosen food particles stuck in the Pro Burner. These food particles will either get burned or fall into the cleaning pan.
Cleaning of the Pro Burner would be longer and more difficult if the Pro Burner grates are allowed to cool before cleaning.

BURNERS CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Burners are made of brass and stainless steel and can be cleaned using a brush, warm water and soap. Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean out clogged ports. DRIP PAN
The drip pan collects grease, liquid and fallen food particles. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe it clean. Make sure the drip pan is fully inserted back into the Pro Burner. It is highly recommended to clean the pan after every use to avoid any possibility of a grease fire. DO NOT use the Pro Burner without the drip pan pushed all the way to the back of the Pro Burner unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE LIGHTING THE PRO BURNER
