Spider's nests or wasp's mud inside the venturi may cause fire at valve. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off gas supply at L.P. cylinder valve.

OTE
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the venturi tubes. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before frost when
n
spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner valves. Such a fire can cause operator
g
injury and serious damage to the grill.
l
To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect venturi tubes often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air
i
pressure will not normally clear a spider web.
