CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
If your barbeque is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback”
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the barbeque’s
venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The backed-up
gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can
damage your barbeque and cause injury. To prevent
flashbacks and ensure good performance, the burner and
venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned
whenever the barbeque has been idle for an extended period
of time.
