BURNER

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

3.Remove carryover tubes and burners.

4.Detach electrode from burner.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below.

5.Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.

(B)Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.

(C)Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

6.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

7.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

8.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large

cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage

valveopenings. See illustration at right.
