Cleaning the Burner
CAUTION
Check and clean burner / manifold tube for insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to fire beneath
the appliances.
Spiders’ nests or wasps’ mud inside the burner may cause fire. If a fire occurs,
immediately turn off gas supply at LP tank valve. (See representative illustration in Fig.1.)
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.
Steps for Cleaning the Burner
:
1. Remove brass connector / hose from the burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
3. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory
FLEXIBLE
venture brush or bend a small hook on one
end of a long flexible wire such as the one shown in
Fig. 2.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Reattach brass connector to burner.
