RESOLVING BURNER ISSUES
Flash-Back Fires
A flash-back fire occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects, and nests
block the flow of gas, forcing it back towards the control panel and control knob. The ignited gas,
if not detected, can cause a fire to burn in this area. If you experience any of the characteristics
of a flash-back fire, close the LP cylinder shut -off immediately. Follow the burner cleaning
procedure outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.
Characteristics of A Flash-Back Fire
•
A fire burning between the burner box and control panel, usually accompanied by HOT OR
MELTING CONTROL KNOBS.
•
Burners may burn with LARGE YELLOW FLAMES.
•
Burners may not light.
Prevent Flash-Back Fire
1.
After lighting, check for normal burner flames.
2. If irregular flames are found, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners,
to remove blockages.
3. If knobs appear hot, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners,
to remove blockages.
4. Clean tip of valve gas jet to remove any build-up or blockages.
WARNING
At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, or poorly lit burners, shut down your griddle station and
remove and clear obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.
