Spider and Insect
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This
is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur, thereby damaging the grill and making it
unsafe to operate.
When to look for Spiders and Insects
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
The BBQ does not reach temperature.
The BBQ heats unevenly.
The burners make popping noises.
Natural Hazard Spiders
It is a fact that sometimes spiders and other insects climb into the grill tubes attached to the burners.
The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be very small, but they are very strong
and can block the flow of gas.
Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not
being used.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction
can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes).
The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require service
Yellow tipping of the yellow flame
Shooting up of grill plates
Burners not igniting properly
Burners failing to remain alight
Gas valves, which are difficult to turn
It is recommended the appliance is cleaned after each use, and inspected yearly by a registered service
engineer.
