manual abstract
They burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the trays. If grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and heated on “HI” for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil. 28 CARE AND MAINTENANCE STAINLESS STEEL: The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain. Note: Stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use. ELECTRODES: Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the electrode (see Fig. 45). GRILL BURNER: Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove. TO REMOVE THE U-BURNERS FOR CLEANING Grip the U-burner as shown in the photo (Fig. 46) and press downwards with your thumbs on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the U FIG. 46 Burner. In some cases it may be necessary to use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the U-burner. After cleaning, when re-installing the U-Burner ensure the U-Burner is completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill provide even cooking performance. GRILL BURNER CLEANING: Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened (See Fig. 47). ORIFICE CLEANING: With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle (Fig. 47). ELECTRODE (KEEP CLEAN) FIG. 45 FIG. 47 29 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Fig. 48 Note: When replacing grill and/or smoker burners, or orifices following cleaning, confirm orifice penetration into burner as shown in Fig. 48 Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and does not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are necessary, refer to page 17. Do this prior to cooking on the grill. SIDE BURNERS (BGB48 BQR MODEL): For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the electrode clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel. Follow the directions on the previous page for cleaning that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the location pins on the bottom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 49). SMOKER BURNER: The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the electrode wire and lifting out the burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill burner. Replace the burner by sliding the air shut...
