CAUTION
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 small, but they are very strong
and can block the flow of gas. Clean
burners prior to use after storing, at the
beginning of grilling season or after a period
of one month not being used.
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
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.
Smell gas.
Burner(s) will not light.
A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
Follow the “ ” 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.
