CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!
Spiders and small insects may occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during
transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in
and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as "FLASH-BACK" and can cause serious
damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition to the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the most
common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must clean the burner tubes before using your grill for
the first time, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active.
Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following
conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
