WARNING

CLEANING VENTURI TUBES

Periodic cleaning of the venturi tubes is recommended for optimum burner performance,
especially after prolonged storage or a period of non-use.
How to Clean:
• Remove the burner (refer to 'ASSEMBLY
PROCEDURE')
• Use a venturi cleaning brush and insert
the brush into the venturi tube 1 inch at a
time, then remove to prevent moving the
debris upwards. (see Figure 8)
• As you remove the brush head inspect
and discard any debris
• Continue this procedure until the entire
lengths of all venturi tubes are free of debris
• Reinstall burner (as per assembly instructions), ensure the venturi tubes are
seated over the valve orifices (see Figure 1)
• Perform a Leak Test (see pages 8, 9 & 10)
WARNING
through the venturi and is indicated by a smoky yellow flame, and/or a burner that
is difficult or impossible to light. Ultimately, it may cause the gas to burn outside
the venturis, which can cause a fire resulting in damage to your grill and
potential personal injury. IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE
PROPANE AT CYLINDER, OR NATURAL GAS AT MAIN SHUT-OFF VALVE. When the
grill has cooled, follow the "How to Clean" steps above.
CHECK TO ENSURE THE BURNER HAS A GOOD FLAME EACH TIME IT IS TURNED ON.
Failure to ensure the above may result in a hazardous fire or
explosion causing serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
It is possible that very small insects could make webs or nest
in the venturi tubes, as they are naturally attracted to the smell
of gas. This will partially or completely block the flow of gas
