3. Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
4. Refer to the figure below and perform one of

[] 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

[] 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.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-
bly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before
using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not
inside the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may
cause explosion and/or fire resulting in serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.

fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite
leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which
could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.
Keep gas regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect
hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,
excessive wear or other damage. If the hose
