It is crucial to measure your existing parts and compare them with the dimensions provided in the specifications section to ensure a precise fit, as grill models can vary.
Setup and Installation
Replacing grill parts requires careful attention to safety and proper procedure. Always ensure your grill is completely cool and disconnected from its fuel source (propane tank or natural gas line) before beginning any installation.
Required Tools:
- Gloves (for protection against sharp edges)
- Screwdriver (if needed for fasteners)
- Wire brush (for cleaning old debris)
Installation Steps:
- Safety First: Turn off the gas supply at the source and disconnect the propane tank or natural gas line. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch.
- Remove Grates and Old Parts: Carefully lift out the cooking grates. Then, remove the old heat plates and burner tubes. Note their orientation and position for reassembly.
- Clean Grill Interior: Use a wire brush to clean any debris, grease, or rust from the grill's firebox and burner supports. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of new parts.
- Install New Burner Tubes: Carefully position the new SafBbcue burner tubes (Model 18629) into their respective slots or supports. Ensure they are securely seated and aligned with the gas valves.
- Install New Heat Plates: Place the new SafBbcue Flav-R-Waves heat plates (Model 18429) over the burner tubes. Ensure they rest properly on their supports, covering the burners.
- Replace Cooking Grates: Once all new parts are in place, carefully put the cooking grates back into the grill.
- Reconnect Gas and Test: Reconnect the gas supply. Before lighting, perform a leak test using a soapy water solution on all gas connections. Turn on the gas and check for bubbles. If bubbles appear, tighten connections and retest. If leaks persist, do not operate the grill and consult a professional.
- Initial Burn-Off: After successful installation and leak check, light the grill on high for 10-15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.

Operating Considerations
With the new SafBbcue grill parts installed, your grill should operate with improved heat distribution and efficiency. The Flav-R-Waves heat plates are designed to catch drippings, turning them into smoke for enhanced flavor, while protecting the burner tubes from direct exposure to food debris and grease.
Always follow your grill manufacturer's instructions for safe lighting and operation. Ensure proper ventilation when using your grill.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your SafBbcue grill parts and ensure continued optimal performance.
Cleaning Instructions:
- After Each Use: After grilling, turn the burners to high for 10-15 minutes to burn off any remaining food residue on the heat plates and grates. Once cool, brush off any remaining ash or debris.
- Periodic Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, remove the heat plates and burner tubes. Wash them with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstalling.
- Stainless Steel Care: While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, it can still develop stains or discoloration. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface. For stubborn stains, a stainless steel cleaner can be used.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new grill parts, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Parts Do Not Fit:
Double-check the model numbers of your grill against the compatibility list provided in this manual. Measure your existing parts and compare them to the dimensions in the specifications section. Grill models can have variations, and ensuring precise measurements is critical for proper fit. If the parts are incorrect for your specific grill model, they may not function safely or effectively.
- Uneven Heating:
Ensure burner tubes are correctly seated and aligned with the gas valves. Check for any blockages in the burner ports. Clean the heat plates thoroughly to ensure even heat distribution.
- Low Flame or No Flame:
Verify that the gas supply is fully open and that there are no kinks in the gas hose. Check for any obstructions in the burner tubes or gas orifices. Perform a leak test on all gas connections.
If problems persist after troubleshooting, consult a qualified grill technician or contact SafBbcue customer support.
