Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to
Figure 1
and
perform one of these three cleaning methods:
Before Using Your Grill
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.
Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle
brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush
through the Burner Tube and inside the
Burner several times, removing any debris.
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.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check
to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2
. If the
orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the
Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.

CAUTION
:
W hile it is possible for one person to unpack
this gas grill, obtain assistance from another
person when handing the large and heavy
grill head.
CAUTION:
Spiders and small insects occasion-
ally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner
tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs
can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could
result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes.
This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK"
and can cause serious damage to your grill and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed Burner Tube is not the
only cause of "FLASHBACK", it is the most
common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", you
must clean the Burner Tubes before assembling
your grill, and at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active.
Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure
if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
Tools Required for Assembly

Open-end wrench (included with Hardware
Pack) used to tighten the Casters.
