Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and
nest in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and
warehousing which can lead to a gas flow
obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE"
can cause serious grill damage and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK
FIRE you must clean the Burner Tubes
as follows before intial use.
Also do this at
least once a month in summer and fall or
whenever spiders are active in your area, and if
your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
WARNING
!
!
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the Burner Tube and inside
the Burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through
the Burner and out the Ports.
1. Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
2. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.
3. Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
