CLEAN THE SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
The combustion air openings of the burner tubes (1) are
fitted with stainless steel screens to help prevent spiders
and other insects from spinning webs and building nests
inside the venturi (tapered) section (2) of the burner
tubes. These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow,
and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air
openings (3). This obstruction could result in a fire (4) in
and around the gas valves, causing serious damage to
your grill. Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate on
the outside of the spider/insect screen and obstruct the
oxygen flow to the burner tube.
Symptoms of spider/insect screen obstruction include:
•
Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that
appear yellow and lazy
You will need: A Phillips screwdriver, soft bristle brush
(toothbrush).
A) Disconnect the two wires from the igniter button
located on the underside of the control panel (5).
NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.
B) Remove control knobs (6).
C) Remove the screws from the front of the control panel
with a Phillips screwdriver (7).
D) Carefully lift control panel up and then pull forward
away from frame (8).
E) Check the spider/insect screens at the ends of the
burner tubes and clean them using the soft bristle
brush (9).
m CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect
screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not
dislodge the spider/insect screens or
enlarge the screen openings.
F) Reinstall control panel by aligning valve stems with
holes in control panel. Position top edge of control
panel on tabs of frame assembly. Push control panel
down into position.
