In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

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

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

•If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder 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 cylinder.

2.Remove cooking grate and vaporiser bar.

3.Under grill remove grease cup, disconnect ignitor wire and clips from burner. To remove clips pull down on large end of clip attached to the valve, turn away from valve, rotate upward and remove small end of clip from burner tube (A).

4.Inside grill remove burner assembly (B), clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing alcohol and a swab.

5.Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner upside down on 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.

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

7.If not storing grill after cleaning, replace burner into grill bottom.

8.To reattach clips hold large curved end away from burner tube, insert small curved end into hole under burner tubes,

turn clip towards valve, snap into place.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve

openings. See illustration (A).

9.Reattach ignitor wire to electrode.

10.Reposition vaporiser bar and cooking grate. Reattach clean grease cup to grease clip.

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