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.
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 gas source!
SOLUTION: Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the Burner Maintenance instructions in the Grilling Guide. 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.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if gas source is turned off and disconnected.
•When removing grill from storage, follow the Burner Maintenance instructions in the Grilling Guide before starting grill.
