To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" (see
CAUTION
at left) clean the burner tubes and
burners
before
fully assembling your grill. Re-
move the cotter pin from the rear underside of
each burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from the
gas valve orifice, then refer to
ILL. 1
and per-
form one of these three cleaning methods:
Pre-Assembly Instructions
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 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.

CAUTION:
Spiders and small insects occa-
sionally spin webs or make nests in the grill
burner tubes during transit and warehousing.
These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruc-
tion which could result in a fire in and around
the burner tubes. This type of fire is known
as a "FLASH-BACK" 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 "FLASH-BACK", it is the most
common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you
must clean the burner tubes before assem-
bling 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 FLASH-BACK

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