2010 Barbecue GrillsLTR20101038, Rev. ACleaning and Maintenancewww.calflamebbq.com20Seasonal CleaningIf you haven’t used your grill in a few months, we recommend that you clean the burners and the interiorof your grill. Cleaning the burners periodically will keep them burning evenly and cleanly and help prevent“flashback”, a type of fire in and around the gas tubes. This happens when spiders and small insects inhabit ormake nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow.IMPORTANT: Before removing the burners, turn OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuelsupply, and disconnect the fuel lineRemove the components1Remove the racks, the flavor bars, and the flametamers from the grill and set them aside. They don’tneed to be in the grill in order to clean them. In fact,all of the items can be cleaned in a dishwasher if youwish.Leave the drip pan in place for now.Remove the burners2The burners can be removed by taking out the locking pins andcarefully lifting them up and away from the valve orifice. Thelocking pins are located under the grill toward the back. They areused to keep the burners in place during shipping and are notnecessary to operate your grill.Clean the burners3Use a wire brush to clean the outersurface of each burner to remove foodresidue and dirt. Clean any cloggedports with a stiff wire such as anopened paper clip.Make sure the flow channel is clear.The flow channel is the narrow sloton the bottom of the burner near theanchor post.Inspect each burner for damage, such as cracks andholes. If any damage is found, don’t use the grill untilyou replace the burner.
