SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS
SHOWN
INSIDE BURNER TUBE
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 venturi.
CONTROL PANEL
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 venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind
the control panel. 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
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

7. Clean inner 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.
8. 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.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve
opening. See illustration, shown F.
11. Reverse steps for re-assembly.
