CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK

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 "FLASH-

BACK" 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 "FLASH-BACK", it is the most

common cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", 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.

TO CLEAN BURNER TUBE,

INSERT HOOK HERE

ORIFICE

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" (see

CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and

Burners before fully assembling your grill. Remove

the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of each

Burner using a pair of long nose pliers. 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:

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.

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.

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.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect

to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check

to ensure the Orifice is inside of the Burner Tube

before using your gas grill. See Figure 2. If the

Burner Tube does not fit over the Valve Orifice,

lighting the Burner may cause explosion

and/or fire.
