MAINTENANCE
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning,
ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other small insects may
build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow. This can
cause a fire, or flashback, around the obstructed venturi tubes
and may damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe
condition. To reduce risk, inspect and clean the venturi tubes
at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill has
been unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes
before using the grill.
Cleaning Venturi Tubes
1. Remove the cooking grids and drain pan.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining
screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner.
See Figure Below.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the
tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
7. Reattach the venturi, collector box, and bracket in the reverse
order removed.
8. Reinstall burner, drip pan, and cooking grids.
