lot of pressure on the tile faces as they may crack. Alternatively, you can turn on the sear burner to burn

everything off.

NOTICE: Avoid directing water into the Sear Burner as this may fill up the inside of the burner housing

with water, not allowing it to burn properly. Water intrusion could also damage the ceramic tiles. Water

damage to your Sear Burner is not covered by the warranty.

ORIFICE CLEANING

You will need to remove the burner first. It may also be helpful to remove the control panel to get a better

look at the orifice (see Fig. 9). Take note of how far the orifice is tightened onto the valve. With the

burner removed, remove the orifice from the valve and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure

there is no blockage. Use a sewing needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole

or break off the needle. Once clean, be sure to carefully thread the orifice onto the valve by hand, then use

a wrench or deep socket wrench to tighten it securely to the same position as before. Replace the burner

as per previous instruction.

IGNITERS

The hot-surface igniters on your Aspire grill do not require any maintenance and are well protected from

debris falling on them.

NOTE: Rough handling of the igniter can crack the ceramic body, causing it to fail. Handle with care.

CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS

After allowing the grill to cool completely, turn the radiant tray upside-down and operate the grill on high

for 30 minutes. The trays are “double sided” and can be left this way to burn off any encrusted food or

grease. The trays can occasionally be scrubbed clean with mild soap & water and a plastic bristle brush.

Allow them to cool completely, never handle hot trays. Replace the briquette trays, ensuring that they sit

level and do not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics.
