BURNER

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 the appliance’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 the appliance and even cause injury.

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