During unpacking, assembly and construction
stages always wear work gloves and eye
protection.
As you unpack this gas grill from shipping
box, use the parts list to ensure all neces-
sary parts are included. Inspect all parts for

Remove white PVC protective film from stain-
l e s s s t e e l s u r f a c e s b e f o r e i n i t i a l u s e .
CAUTION:
While it is possible for one person to unpack
this gas grill, obtain assistance from another
person when handing the large and heavy
grill head.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
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 procedure
if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
Tools Required for Assembly
•
Phillips Head screw driver - also used to
remove the screws from the rear of each
burner when cleaning the Burners
•
Open-end wrench (included with Hardware
Pack) used to tighten the Casters.
Figure 1
Before Using Your Grill
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see
CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and
Burners before fully assembling your grill. Re-
move the screws at the rear of each burner using
a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3.
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.
!
WARNING
The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check
to ensure the Orifice is inside 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.
