Cleaning The Burner
NOTE: Spiders and small insects can spin
webs and build nests inside the burner. This
especially occurs in late summer and fall
before frost when spiders are most active.
These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause
a fire in and around the burner and orifice.
Such a fire can cause operator injury and
serious damage to the appliance. To help
prevent a blockage and ensure full heat
output, clean and inspect burner tube often
(once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air
pressure will not normally clear a spider web.
Steps for cleaning the Burner:
1. Remove orifice/valve from burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests,
webs, or mud.
3. To remove the gas flow obstructions, use a
flexible venturi brush or bend a small hook
on one end of a long flexible wire or use an
air hose.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Reattach orifice/hose to burner.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Correct care and maintenance will keep your
appliance operating smoothly. Clean regularly
as determined by the amount of use. NOTE:
Clean the entire appliance each year and
tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2
times a year or more depending on usage).
Cleaning should be done where detergents
won’t harm patio, lawn, or the like.
