CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
Important: Always ensurethat the venturi burner tubes are clean. A
venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build
nests.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
cleon the burner tubes.

INSiOE VENTURt TUBE
BURNER
Spiders
or small insects have been known to create
"flashback"
problems.
The spiders
spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the
grilFs venturi
tube(s) obstructing
the
flow of gas to the burner.
The backed-up
gas can ignite in the burner tube
behind
the
control
panel.
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 venturi tube assembly should be removed from the grill
and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an
_tended
period,

We suggest three ways to dean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.

each burner
tube several times.

Use a narrow
bottle
brush with a flexible
handle
(do not

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
