Char-Broil 5101194 manual Natural Hazard Spiders, Typical spider webs inside burner

CAUTION

Natural Hazard • Spiders

FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tube. 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 burner prior to use after storing, or after a period of one Month not being used.

Typical spider webs inside burner

An obstruction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tube). The appliance may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burner.

If you experience the following:

1.Smell gas.

2.Burner will not light.

3.Fire coming from around or behind control knob.

STOP! Immediately turn off gas at LP cylinder.

SOLUTION: Wait for appliance to cool. Clean burner often. Spiders and insects don’t care if your appliance is brand new or you just cleaned it. Use a hose with a nozzle attached. Forced water will wash

out the web.

For residential use only. Do not use for commercial cooking.

General Cleaning

•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas appliances are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

•Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

￿ Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

•Cooking grate: Coating the cooking grate with spray-on cooking oil will keep the food from sticking and make clean up easier. After cooking, scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.
