SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders or other insects may build webs or nests in your fireplace burner tube which can obstruct
or block the flow of gas.
Some of the gas may back up in the burner tube and cause a flashback (a fire in the burner tube
or underneath the fireplace), which could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Check and clean the burner tube periodically using a pipe cleaning brush (shown below) and
compressed air available at any hardware store.
Example of a typical burner tube.
