TROUBLE SHOOTING
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs
or make nests in the grill burner tubes during
transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to
gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in
and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known
as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage
to your grill and create an unsafe operating
condition for the user.
Although 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.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year
or immediately after any of the following conditions
occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the
following check list before contacting your dealer for
service. You may save the cost of a service call.
