Safety Instruction
WARNING
Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the
“LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual.
CAUTION: Beware of Flashback
TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANS Z21.58a CSA
1.6a-2008 STANDARD FOR OUTDOOR COOKING GAS
APPLIANCE. THIS GRILL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
CAUTION:
Spiders and small insects occasionally
spin webs or make nest in the grill
burner tubes during transit and
warehousing. These webs can lead
to gas flow obstruction, which could
result in a fire in and around burner
tubes. This type of fire is known as
“FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill
and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
“FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the
burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if
your grill has not been used for an extended period of time. A
clogged tube can be lead to a fire beneath the grill.
