CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
If your barbecue is getting hard to light or
the flame is weak, check and clean the
venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create
"flashback" problems by building nests and
laying eggs in the barbecue's venturi or
burner obstructing the flow of gas. The
backed-up gas can ignite behind the control
panel. This flashback can damage your
barbecue and cause injury. To prevent
flashbacks and ensure good performance,
the burner and venturi tube assembly should
be removed and cleaned whenever the
barbecue has been idle for an extended
period of time.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting barbecue.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LPG cylinder and
disengage regulator from cylinder.
2. Remove grease tray. Open top cover, remove cooking grate,
heat tent and warming rack, shown A. This will expose the
burner from inside, shown B.
3. Working from underneath the barbecue, remove 2 nuts
securing the burner to the bottom, shown C
4. From the top of the barbecue, carefully lift burner out, shown D . .
5. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly (Continued)
6. Clean burner as recommended below, shown E.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several
times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner
tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
8. Insert burner into firebox .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve
opening. See illustration, shown F.
9. Reattach burner bracket nuts
10. Reinstall heat tent, cooking grates and warming rack.
