How to Clean the Burner on a Uniflame Grill

The burner of your Uniflame gas grill contains a smooth metal surface where drips of grease, sauces and other food products may accumulate, burning onto the surface. When food accumulates on the burner, it can clog the burner and prevent even heating. Clean the burner surface regularly to ensure optimal heat conductivity for a successful, evenly cooked meal every time.
