SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
When to look for spiders:
You should inspect the burners/venturi tubes at least once a
year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1.The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2.The grill does not reach the proper temperatures.
3.The grill heats unevenly.
4.The burners makes a popping noise.
