Spiders or smafl insects have been known to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, buiJd nests and Jay eggs in the griIVs burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube behind the controJ paneJ. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and burner tube assembly should be removed from the griJl and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle

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.

(g) 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 eve protectlan: 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.
