BEWARE OF SPIDERS AND WASPS. BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY!
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes
during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas
fl
ow obstruction
which could result in a
fi
re in and around the burner tubes.
This type of
fi
re is known as FLASH-BACK and can cause serious damage to your BBQ
and create an unsafe operating environment for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of FLASH-BACK it is the
most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is
necessary.
To reduce the chance of FLASH-BACK , the procedure listed below should be
followed at least once a month in late summer or early autumn when spiders are
most active, or when your BBQ has not been used for an extended period of time.
All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out when the BBQ
is cool and with the gas supply turned OFF at the gas cylinder.
