CAUTION: Beware of Flash-back
CAUTION
: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit
and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow
obstruction which could result in a fire in and around burner
tubes. This type of fire is known as "FLASH-BACK" 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
"FLASH-BACK", it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", 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
procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
See instructions on cleaning burner tube on page 10.
