PREVENTION

Blocked burner venturi
Blockages in the burner venturi caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a flashback fire.
A flashback fire occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests blocks 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 Flashback Fire, close the LP gas cylinder shut-off immediately
immediately. Follow the Burner Cleaning Procedure outlined in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
WARNING
At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, poorly lit burners accompanied by the smell of gas, shut down your barbecue, and
perform burner cleaning maintenance, outlined in the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual (Page 19).
