Spiders and small insects can spin webs and nest in the grill burner ventur
flow obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE"
can cause serious grill damage and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must inspect and clean the venturi at least twice
a year in summer and fall, whenever spiders are active in your area, or if your grill has not been used
for an extended period of time.
Remove the pin from the rear of each burner tube using needle nose pliers. Carefully lift each burner
up and away from the gas valve oriface. Check the burner venturi tubes for insects and nests and
clean as shown below. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

FOR CLEANING, REFER TO
METHODS 1-3 BELOW:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire
coat hanger into a small hook as shown
and run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times
to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: 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.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assembly
Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your
grill. (See figure above). If the Orifice is not inside
the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
