U-BURNER CLEANING:
Clean the exterior of the burner with a brass wire brush. Clear any stubborn scale with a metal scraper.
Clear any clogged ports with a thin wire. 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 stiff wire to clean out the burner throat.
IR-BURNER CLEANING:
AFTER EACH USE, IT IS NECESSARY TO BURN ALL
IR BURNERS WITH THE HOOD OPEN FOR AT LEAST
FIVE MINUTES TO VAPORIZE ANY FOOD DRIPPINGS
OR PARTICLES. It may occasionally be necessary to
brush, blow or vacuum accumulated ash from the burner
surface. Do so carefully and only when the burner is cool.
ORIFICE CLEANING:
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the openings 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.
TO REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS:
Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole and resting the
rear of the burner onto its supporting bracket.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE BURNER ON THE ORIFICE PROPERLY.
Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Make sure the burner is
level and does not rock. Special care must be taken not to hit or damage the electrode wire while replac-
ing the burners.
ELECTRODE GAPS:
The right gap must be maintained to ensure a proper spark. The gap should be 1/8” to 3/16”. To adjust
gap, hold the base of the wire rod tightly with a pair of pliers, and with another set of pliers, twist the tip
of the wire to achieve the correct gap. Igniter batteries should be replaced at least once a year, following
the instructions on page 6.
NOTE: Rough handling of the electrode can crack the ceramic body, causing all of the igniters to fail.
Replace the briquette trays, ensuring that they sit level and do not rock. Light all of the burners and
check for proper flame characteristics.
CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS: After allowing the grill to cool completely, turn the bri-
quettes upside-down and operate the grill on high for 30 minutes. After allowing to cool again, return the
briquettes to their proper (flat side down) position. The trays can occasionally be scrubbed clean when
needed after allowing them to cool completely. Never handle hot trays.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Always keep the area around the grill free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least 3” of space
around grill to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation openings clear and free of debris. Visually
check flame characteristics and compare to description on page 14. Adjust if needed. Clean appliance
after each use, and check for blockages, especially at the burner orifices, after periods of prolonged non-
use. To maintain the appearance of your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for many years, keep it covered
when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to sun, water,
yard chemicals and the elements will reduce the appearance of the stainless steel. This is especially ap-
plicable in ocean front locations, or locations subject to sea mists. ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grills strongly
recommends that you cover your Grill when not in use.

FAILURE TO PERFORM THIS STEP
WILL DAMAGE THE IR-BURNER
