VENTURI TUBES
7
Always keep venturi tubes clean. Blockages in the venturi
tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a
flashback fire. In fact, although the gas stove may still
light, the backed up gas can ignite and cause a fire around
the venturi tubes at the control panel.
If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately
Inspect and clean the venturi if any of the following
symptoms occur:
1. You smell gas.
2. Your gas stove does not reach temperature.
3. Your gas stove heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
INSPECTING & CLEANING
1. Turn off gas by closing the propane cylinder valve
2. When gas stove is cool, remove the burner fasteners.
Proceed to lift the burners from the gas stove housing.
3. Clean the venturi tubes with a pipe cleaner or venturi
cleaning tool (Accessory #77310 or #18270).
4. Lower the burner into position in the gas stove
housing, making sure that the venturi tubes are
correctly aligned and fitted on the orifices.
