Keeping your BBQ’s burners free and clear of debris,
checking for obstructions including spider webs, will ensure that your family is protected from serious safety hazards such as FLASH and GREASE Fires. For more information regarding these issues please visit www.centrobbqs.com.
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas, and often build nests inside your BBQ’s burners, which is the root cause of a FLASH BACK FIRE. Lighting your burners without first checking and cleaning out the Venturi tubes, burner ports, and the inside of burners can lead to a serious flash fire resulting in damage to the BBQ, property and/ or personal injury.
See the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual for proper burner maintenance.
