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 initial use.
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.
WARNING
!
!
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
WARNING
!
!
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-
bly 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.
