CAUTION
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a period of one month not being
used.

Typical spider webs inside burner.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result

burners.

Repainting Your Grill
• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may
deteriorate or become spotted. Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, it will not impair its performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and
bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
