6. Care And Maintenance
6.1 Care
Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only
when the grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware
that may become loose.
6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi can block gas flow and can even cause a fire at
the gas control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi tube screen cover regularly and remove
any dirt.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble or alter the fuel supply system. Improper assembly can result in a hazardous
condition. Seek qualified professional assistance if repairs are required.
