CAUTION
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tubes attached to the burners. 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 burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not being used. 
Typical spider webs inside burner.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result in a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1.Smell gas.
2.Burner(s) will not light.
3.A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4.Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
After a burner tube fire, you must inspect the hose and do a “Leak Test” to assure no damage has occured to the parts.
SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the “Cleaning The Burner Assembly” instructions. Clean burners often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
