CAUTION

NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS

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.

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.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:

1.Smell gas.

2.Burner(s) will not light.

3.A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).

4.Fire coming from around or behind control knob.

STOP!

Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!

SOLUTION:

Wait for grill to cool.

Follow the “Cleaning The Burner Assembly” 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.

Storing Your Grill

Clean cooking grates.

Store in dry location.

When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well- ventilated space and out of reach of children.

Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer.

Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.

When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning The Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1.Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank.

2.Remove cooking grate, VapoRISER Bar, and grease cup.

3.Disconnect ignitor wire from burner electrode and remove the two burner screws from beneath grill bottom.

4.Carefully lift burner assembly up and away from valves.

5.Clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing alcohol and a swab.

6.Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner upside down on a flat surface, insert garden hose to force water through tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion, some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found, replace burner.

7.If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out.

8.If not storing grill after cleaning, replace burner into grill

bottom.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations below.

9.Attach burner to grill bottom with screws and attach ignitor wire to burner electrode

10.Reposition VapoRISER Bar and cooking grate. Attach clean grease cup beneath grill bottom.

11.Before cooking again on grill, perform a “Leak Test” and “Burner Flame Check”.

￿Do not use ceramic briquets or charcoal in your gas grill.
