Annual Maintenance

After a period of nonuse or to keep your grill in top

operating condition, you should perform the following

maintenance procedures to keep the grill ready for

instant use and for your safety

•

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventila-

tion air.

•

Clean inside the grill head. Remove the burner/

venturi assembly and cover the valve orifices with a

piece of aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush inside

bottom and sides with a stiff wire brush to remove

built-up grease and debris.

Be careful not to dam-

age the Ignitor or Collector Box.

•

Test the Ignitor for a good spark. (See Rotary

Spark Ignitor System in the General Maintenance

section.)

•

The stainless steel burner may be brushed lightly

with a stiff laundry brush. Any clogged flame holes

may be opened using a thin wire. Use the supplied

venturi cleaning brush or a bottle brush, pipe

cleaner to clean out the venturis. (See Flashback in

General Maintenance.)

•

Clean the Control Panel, Side Shelf Supports, Lid

Handle Spacers, Lower Cart Frame, Posts with a

mild detergent soap and warm water solution. For

the Optimum Console use a mild detergent soap

and water, Windex or a quality stainless steel

cleaner such as MHP’s Stainless Steel Cleaner

(Part #SSC) to clean the column and grill lid facing.

Do Not Use cleaning agents such as bleach,

powdered cleansers, steel wool pads or caustic

solutions like oven cleaners because they will

damage the surfaces.

•

Porcelain cooking grids should be cleaned by first

pre-heating the grill on high for ten minutes, lid

closed. Then with a brass bristled grill brush clean

off the debris. Do Not wash the porcelain grates in

a sink or dishwasher. It may ultimately cause the

porcelain to chip.

•

Occasional white oxidation on the exterior of your

grill head and lid may be washed off with mild soap

and warm water.

•

Severe weathering of the grill head and lid can be

remedied by lightly sanding or rubbing with steel

wool. Then it can be recoated with a high quality

heat resistant paint similar to MHP’s BF-1 Paint,

available in spray cans from your dealer.

•

Inspect the hose and gas fittings. Remember to

leak check every time you disconnect and recon-

nect a gas fitting.

•

Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder

enclosure free and clear from debris.

General Maintenance

Flashback

In some areas of the country, spiders and other in-

sects build nests, lay eggs and spin webs in the grill’s

venturi tube or valve orifice. This obstructs the full flow

of gas to the burner. Some gas backs up resulting in a

“Flashback”

- a fire in the venturi behind the control

panel which could cause serious bodily injury or dam-

age to your grill.

To remove spider webs and/or other obstructions, you

must clean out the venturis.

This should be done

routinely if the grill has sat idle for extended peri-

ods. Also, if you live in an area where spiders are

plentiful, you should clean the venturis often, es-

pecially in the fall when there is an increase in egg

sack production.

To clean, be sure the grill is cold. Open lid and re-

move the cooking grids, the briquettes and the bri-

quette grate.

1. Remove the burner clip holding the burner in

place.

(See Fig. 42)

2. Lift burner and venturi assembly out. With sup-

plied cleaning brush, a pipe cleaner or a flexible

wire, clean out the venturi tube.

3. Remove hex head orifice with a 3/8" wrench.

Clean Orifice hole and inner part of the valve with

a toothpick. Be careful not to enlarge the orifice

hole.

4. Check orifice receptacle in valve body.

When finished cleaning reassemble the complete unit.

Warning:

Check the hose before each use of the grill for nicks,

cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in

any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only

MHP

authorized

replacement hose.
