Lighting Instructions; Spider Alert - Thermos 4611118 Product Manual

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burner.
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill's burner tube obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube.
This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even
cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
burner tube should be removed from the grill and cleaned before
use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF GAS AT LP CYLINDER!
1. Wait for grill to cool.
2. Use a 12" pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tube.

Lighting Instructions

Important! Remove or raise lid to open position.
Attempting to light burner with lid closed may cause an
explosion. Do not expose any part of your body or clothing
directly above cooking area when lighting.
1. From beneath the grill, place lighted wooden match up
through lighter/ventilation hole in center of bottom.
2. While holding match in place, turn control knob to lighting
position. Grill will ignite.
3. Observe burner flames through openings in heat distribution
plate. Make sure burner ignites and stays lit on both sides.

cooking.
CAUTION
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the

the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.
