CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occa- sionally spin webs or make nests in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruc- tion which could result in a fire in and around
the Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK" and can cause serious
damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", you must clean the burner tubes before assem-
bling your grill, and at least once a month in
late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and Burners before fully assembling your grill. Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
. Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove
any debris.
. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times, removing any debris.
.
Figure 1
Use an air hose to force air through each Burner Tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through the Burner and out the Ports.

Z WARNING
The location of the Burner Tube with re- spect to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See Fig. 2. If the Orifice is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
