Cleaning The Venturi - Coleman 9406 Serie Manuel D'assemblage, D'entretien Et D'utilisation

• Do not use this cooking grate or griddle on a campfire or other
open fire.
• Never leave the cooking grate or griddle over a lit burner
without foodstuffs longer than one minute (except for the
initial pre-heating period). Otherwise, the special coating will
be damaged.
• Use this cooking grate or griddle only on the Coleman® grill for
which it was designed.
COOKING GRATE AND GRIDDLE
The cooking grates and griddles can be cleaned immediately
after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a
barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates and griddles with
a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the
grates and griddles will be easier if removed from the grill and
cleaned with a mild detergent.
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder.
Disposable propane cylinders should be detached from the
grill during cleaning.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:
• Mild dishwashing liquid detergent • Hot water
• Wire brush • Paper clip • Nylon cleaning pad
• Soft brass-bristled brush • Putty knife • Scraper
Component Cleaning:
• BURNER: Wire-brush loose corrosion from the burner exterior.
Clean clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip.
Replace corroded or damaged burner that would emit excess
gas.
• COOKING GRATE: Clean cooking grates with mild soap and hot
water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or scrub
brush. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
• GRILL INTERIOR: Remove grates. Scrape side with tools and
remove excess grease and cooking residue.

Cleaning the Venturi

WARNING
Spider's nests or wasp's mud inside the venturi may cause fire
at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off the gas supply
at the control valve (see representative illustration in Fig. 33).

Note:
CAUTION
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside
the venturi tubes. This especially occurs in late summer and
fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can
obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner
knob. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage
to the grill. To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat
output, clean and inspect the venturi tubes often (once or twice
a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a
spider web.
Steps For Cleaning Venturi:
1. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible
venturi brush or bend a small hook on one end of a 20-inch
long flexible wire such as the one shown in Fig. 34.
2. Remove the cooking grates and the water pans and set
aside. (Fig. 35 and Fig. 36)
3. Look inside lower end of venturi tube for nests, webs or
mud. If present, clean as noted in Step 1, Fig. 34.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Replace the burner and burner clamps, and position the
burner in the operating position.
6. Make sure the orifice fittings are inside the venturi tube,
then tighten all self tapping screws. (Fig. 37 and Fig. 38)
