Jean's Restaurant Supply - Commercial Gas Griddle Service Call

GAS GRILL SERVICE CALL - SOOT BUILDING UP UNDER GRILL

We received a service call from a customer stating that they had a gas range that has a 24" grill on it that was making a lot of soot on the burners and the bottom side of the grill plate. The surface burners and oven was working fine. The only problem was with the commercial grill. Upon initial inspection I noticed the gas grill had three burners and the left and center burners were burning a pretty blue flame but the one on the right was burning big yellow flames which is what causes all of the soot build up.

I removed the grill plate and took the knobs and the front panel off the unit so I could gain access to the burners and burner valves. This particular problem can be caused by several things. Burner orifices may be clogged and dirty, burners may be clogged and dirty, or air shutter may be not be adjusted properly.

Further inspection found that the restaurant griddle burner orifice was partially clogged. I cleaned out all of the orifices with a small wire, rinsed off the burners, and adjusted all the air shutters and checked. All was burning clean so I proceeded to reassemble the unit and make a final test. All good!
