RESOLVING BURNER ISSUES
WARNING
At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, or poorly lit burners, shut down your griddle and remove and clear
obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.
Flash-Back Fires
A flash-back fire occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects, and nests block the flow of
gas, forcing it back towards the control panel and control knob. The ignited gas, if not detected, can cause a fire to
burn in this area.
If you experience any of the characteristics of a flash-back fire, close the LP cylinder shut-off
immediately. Follow the burner cleaning procedure outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.
For Your Safety
• DO NOT throw water on a fire.
• DO keep baking soda handy to extinguish a fire.
• DO follow all warnings and safety checks outlined in the SAFETY & CARE MANUAL.
• DO protect your family and home by performing the cleaning and maintenance steps outlined in this
manual.
Characteristics of A Flash-Back Fire
• A fire burning between the firebox and control panel, usually accompanied by HOT OR MELTING CONTROL
KNOBS.
• Burners may burn with LARGE YELLOW FLAMES.
• Burners may not light.
Prevent Flash-Back Fire
1. After lighting, check for normal burner flames.
2. If irregular flames are found, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners,
to remove blockages.
3. If knobs appear hot, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners,
to remove blockages.
4. Clean tip of valve gas jet to remove any build-up or blockages.
