OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Flame Characteristics This procedure outlines how to check for proper burner flame characteristics.

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.
