WARNING: Failure to periodically check for
spiders, especially when ignition problems exist,
could lead to a flashback of gas beneath the
control box or under the firebox which could result
in property damage or bodily harm. Be sure to
follow the recommended maintenance schedule
and proper lighting procedure in order to
minimize the possibility of flashback.
If you suddenly develop gas flow problems or
ignition problems with your grill, then spiders are a
likely culprit. Remove your control knobs and control
box to view the orifices and shutter of your burner. It
will be necessary to remove the burners (See Page 34)
to inspect the venturi section of the burner. If there is
evidence of spiders, try to use a small brush to
eliminate the spider webs. If there are webs blocking
the venturi, insert a bottle brush into the end of the
burner, twist and pull the webs out. Never, under
any circumstances, use a pesticide near your grill
to eliminate spiders or other insects, as this could
be extremely hazardous.

Cleaning the Cooking Shelf/Shelves
The cleaning of the cooking shelf can be
accomplished by using the soapy solution mentioned
in Step 1 and wiping with a soft cloth. For stubborn
particles the use of a non-metallic brush can be used.
Do not use a wire brush on your cooking shelf.
CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush on your
cooking shelf.

Cleaning the Console
To clean the cabinet, just wipe all surfaces down
with a mild soapy solution and a soft clean cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleansers as this
will scratch or fade the paint.
It is recommended that a coat of liquid spray wax be
applied to the cabinet’s painted parts to protect your
grill against “outside” environmental conditions.

Spider Guards
We don’t like them either, but
spiders are attracted to the additive
placed in both natural and LP
(propane) gas. The additive plus the
fact that the burner venturi area is narrow, dark
and protected, make the barbecue burner extremely
attractive to spiders. A nesting spider is capable of
spinning a web overnight that could partially or
completely block gas flow. Therefore, your grill is
equipped with stainless steel spider guards. You need to
periodically check for spiders and clean out the guards.
We recommend a 90-day maintenance on your grill
and the burners should be checked at this time.

Cleaning the Burner Orifice
Check the orifice to be sure it is free and clean
of any obstructions. (See Fig. 31) If there are any
obstructions do not push them into the orifice hole;
wipe them off the top of the orifice.
If after cleaning your orifices (or if you cannot clean
them with the burners on the orifices), burner ignition
is still difficult then the next step is to check your
burners for spiders and their webs.
