Follow the instructions listed below.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Ensure that the fuel supply tank valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces.
• Lightly coat the burner with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
• Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out
of direct sunlight.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather. A grill
cover can be purchased by contacting:
The Brinkmann Corporation at 1-800-527-0717.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or
after extended periods of storage.
HARDWARE
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
FIREBOX
• Remove the cooking grids, ceramic briquets, and burner from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot
water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse com-
pletely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
BURNER AND VENTURIS
• Although your burner is constructed of high quality stainless steel, it will rust as a result of the
extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes,
and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
• Venturi tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked venturi
tubes can prevent gas flow to the burner and could possibly result in a venturi fire. To clean the
venturis, remove the burner from the grill. Use a pipe cleaner or a small wire and insert into the
opening of the venturi. Remove any obstructions that may exist. Replace the burner as per the
assembly instructions.
