Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most common
cause. To reduce the chance of flashback, you must clean the burner tube before assembling
your appliance, 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 appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time.
You should inspect the burner at least once a year or immediately after any of the following
conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The appliance does not reach temperature.
3. The appliance heats unevenly.
4. The burner makes popping noises.
