Cleaning the Burner
CAUTION
Checking and cleaning burner / venture tubes for insect nests. A clogged tube can
lead to fire beneath the appliances.
Spiders
’ nests or wasps’ mud inside the burner may cause fire at the air damper. If a
fire occurs, immediately turn off gas supply at LP tank valve.
Note
:
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the burner. This especially
occurs in late summer and fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can
obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner and orifice. Such a fire can
cause operator injury and serious damage to the appliance.
To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect burner tube often
(once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.

mud.
