VENTURI TUBES
•
Always keep venturi tubes clean
•
Blockages in the venturi tubes caused by spiders,
insects and nests can cause a flashback fire
•
Although the gas grill may still light, the backed up gas
can ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at
the control panel or the side burner
If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately
Inspect and clean the venturi tubes (main burner, side
burner, rear burner) if any of the following symptoms
occur:
1. You smell gas.
2. Your gas grill does not reach temperature.
3. Your gas grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
