Spiders or small insects are know to create
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi tube assembly should be removed and
cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for
an extended period of time.
If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturi’s and burners.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting
appliance.
1.
Turn gas OFF at control knob and remove LP
cylinder.
2.Open top cover, remove cooking grate and warming
rack, shown

. This will expose the burner from
inside, shown

.
3.Remove 3 screws attaching burner, shown

4.From the top of the grill, carefully lift burner out, shown
D
.
5.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
6.Clean burner as recommended below, shown
E
.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube.
Use the one easiest for you.
(A)
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run hook
through burner tube several times.
(B)
Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible
handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the
brush through burner tube several times.
(C)Wear eye protection:
Use an air hose to force
air into the burner tube and out the burner
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes
out each hole.
7.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear
and corrosion some holes may become
enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found
replace burner.
8.Insert burner into firebox .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-
engage over valve opening. See illustration,
shown F.
9.Reattach burner with screws removed in step 3.
10.Reinstall heat tent, cooking grates and
warming rack. Ensure Cooking Grate ridges

Leak test your grill. Light burner, check to make sure
it is lit. Close the lid and warm up 5 for 10 minutes.
Additional curing of paints and parts will produce an
odor only on first lighting.
Before Your First Cookout
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease
and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not
painted at the factory (and should never be painted).
Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a
grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry.
Do not
apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
