CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER

If your barbecue is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.

Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the barbecue’s venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your barbecue and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance, the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the barbecue has been idle for an extended period of time.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly (Continued)

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.

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.
