CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occa­
sionally spin webs or make nests in the grill
burner tubes during transit and warehousing.
These webs can lead to a gas flow ob­
struction which could result in a fire in and
around the burner tubes. This type of fire is
known as a "FLASH-BACK" and can cause
serious damage to your grill and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user.
Aithough an obstructed burner tube is not
the only cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the
most common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK",
you must clean the burner tubes before
assembling your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active. Also perform this
burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill
has not been used for an extended period
of time.
