9.Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you.

(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through 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 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.

10.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.

11.Carefully replace heat shield and control panel assembly .

12.Reattach electrode wire to ignitor.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F.

11. Reattach front legs. Carefully stand the unit upright.

BURNER

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