SPIDER ALERT!
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes
are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in
which spiders tend to build nests.
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 venturi's.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create "flashback"
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill's
venturi tube (s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi 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
venturi 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

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.

into a small hook. Runthe hook through each burner
tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: 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.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
