Cleaning The Burner Assembly - Char-Broil PERFORMANCE PRO Serie Mode D'emploi

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting barbecue.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner
configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the
one easiest for you.
A. Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube
several times.
B. Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush). Run the brush through each
burner tube several times.
C. Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port
to make sure air comes out each hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
8. Check burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion,
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found, replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage
valve openings. See illustrations at right.

General Appliance Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur
when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.
After each use, remove any remaining food particles from the
cooking grate and inside of the grill using a Char-Broil Cool-Clean
Brush. Afterwards you could spray Char-Broil Grate Cleaner
generously onto the grate, allow it work for 10 minutes and wipe
off with a wet cloth or brush. Perform grill cleaning after the grill
has cooled down.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas
barbecues are not painted at the factory (and should never
be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water
or use a appliance cleaner with scrub brush on insides of
appliance lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply
caustic appliance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts. Damage
to and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition,
most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water
solution, glass cleaner or Char-Broil Grate Cleaner. Use
nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or cleaner and
warm soapy water or Char-Broil Grill Cleaner. Wipe dry with
a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Cooking surfaces: Ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. While grill is hot, it is only
recommended to clean cooking surfaces using the Char-
Broil Hot-Clean Replacement head (on the Char-Broil Cool-
Clean Premium Brush).
CLEAN Setting
Your grill is equipped with an innovative CLEAN setting that
allows for hassle-free grill cleaning. The high heat generated
from the burners will turn all remaining food debris to ash.
Follow these steps:
• After you are done grilling, adjust all main burners to
CLEAN setting and remain for approximately 12 – 15
minutes
• After approximately 12 – 15 minutes, adjust all main
burners to OFF setting and allow grill to cool
• Once the grill is cool, use a Char-Broil Cool-Clean Brush to
remove any remaining debris and dispose of the ash
• To get extra-shiny results, use the Char-Broil Grate Cleaner
as a last step. Spray generously onto the grate, allow it
work for 10 minutes and wipe off with a wet cloth or brush.
