CAUTION:
Spiders and small insects occasion-
ally spin webs or make nests in the grill
burner tubes during transit and warehousing.
These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction
which could result in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a
"FLASHBACK"
and can cause serious damage
to your grill and create an unsafe operating
condition for the user.
Although
an obstructed
Burner Tube is not the
only cause of "FLASHBACK",
it is the most
common
cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK",
you
must clean the Burner Tubes before assembling
your grill, and at least once a month in late
summer
or early fall when spiders are most
active. Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning
)rocedure if your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK"
(see
CAUTION
at left) clean the Burner Tubes and
Burners before
fully assembling
your grill. Re-
move the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully
lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure
1 and
perform one of these three cleaning
methods:
.
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight
coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.
{
J
.
Use a Burner Cleaning
Brush, or a bottle
brush with a flexible
handle. Run the brush
through the Burner Tube and inside the
Burner several times, removing any debris.
.
Use an air hose to force air through each
Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions
through the Burner
and out the ports.
• Long nose pliers can be used to remove
Cotter Pin when cleaning
the Burners
• Use work gloves to protect your hands
• Wear eye protection
• When
you
have finished
assembling
your
grill
we strongly
urge that
all Pattern
Head Thumb
Screws
be tightened,
either
with
the supplied
Tightening
Tool
or a
#2 Phillips
Head Screwdriver
Tightening
Tool

Z WARNING
The location of the Burner Tube with re-
spect to the Orifice is vital for safe opera-
tion. Check to ensure the Orifice
is inside
of the Burner Tube before using your gas
grill. See Figure 2. If the Orifice
is not
inside the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner
may cause explosion and/or fire.
