above the cooking area.

6. Care And Maintenance
6.1 Care
Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose.
6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas flow and can even cause a fire at the gas
control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube screen cover regularly and remove any dirt.
