Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and
nest in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and
warehousing which can lead to a gas 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 clean the Burner Tubes
as follows before assembling your grill.
Also do this at least once a month in summer
and fall or whenever spiders are active in your
area, and if your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time.
CAUTION
!
!
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in injury.
WARNING
!
!
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assembly
Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your
grill. See figure. 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.
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.
