Spider Alert
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or
that the flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the
time to check and clean the burner tubes.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create
'+flashback" problems.
The spiders spin their webs,
build nests, and lay eggs in the grill's burner tube(s)
obstructing
the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-
up gas can ignite in the burner tube behind the control
panel. This is known as a flashback
and it can damage
your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance,
the burner and burner tube assembly
should be
removed
from the grill and cleaned
before use
whenever
the grill has been idle for an extended
period.
Cleaning
the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and / or replace
parts
of the burner assembly
or if you have trouble
igniting
the
grill.
1.
Turn gas off at control
knobs and LP tank.
2.
Remove the cooking
grates and heat diffusers.
3.
Remove the Phillips head screws located
at the back
end of each burner.
4.
Lift each burner up and out. Unplug
the electronic
igniter wire from the electrode.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the
one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a lightweight
coat hanger works
well) into a small hook. Run the hook through
each burner
tube several times.
5.
Use a wire brush along the entire outer surface of
burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
6.
Clean any blocked
ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper
clip.
7.
Check burner for damage.
Due to normal wear and
corrosion,
some holes may become
enlarged.
Replace
the burner if any large cracks or holes are found.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Burner tubes must re-engage
valve
openings (orifices). See illustration below.

8.
Plug the electronic
igniter wires into the burner
electrodes.
9.
Carefully
replace
burner tubes ensuring that the tube
end seats over the gas valve as shown in the figure
above.
10. Secure burners to back of firebox
with Phillips head
bolts.
11. Perform a leak test described
earlier
in this guide
before
using your grill.
Staring Your Grill

(B) Use a narrow
bottle
brush with a flexible
handle (do

Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port
to make sure air comes out each hole.
