NATURAL HAZARD ,, SPIDERS

FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb

into the burner tubes attached to the burners. The
spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The

webs or nests can be very sma , but they .....

are very' stron9 and can block the flow : : _:_ f_-_
of gas C ean burners pror to use after _"::_:_:_::_::::,,J

storin 9, at the beginnin9 of grilling season _::_: ::::":::
or after a period of one month not being used.

Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to

reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An
obstruction can result in a "flashback" (a fire in the

burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction
does not allow full gas flow to the burners.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Smell gas.

2. Burner(s) will not light.

3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).

4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!

Immediately turn off gas at LP cylinder!
SOLUTION:

Wait for grill to cool. ,,

Follow the "Cleaning the Bumer Assembly instructions.
Clean burners often. Use a 12 pipe cleaner to clean out

the burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water
from a hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (andshould never be painted).Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush

on insidesof grill lidand bottom. Rinse and allow to
completely air dry.Do not apply a causticgrill/oven cleaner
to painted surfaces.

• Side Shelves: Wash with warm soapy water andwipe dry.

Donot use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic side shelves. Damageto
and failure ofshelves can result.

Non-Stick Cooking Surface: Turn grill off before cleaning.
While still warm, poura cup ofwater over cooking surface to
loosen grease andfood particles and to speed cool-down.
