BLOCKED BURNER VENTURI
Blockages in the burner venturi caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a FLASHBACK FIRE. A
ashback re occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests blocks the
ow of gas, forcing it back towards the control panel and control knob. The ignited gas, if not detected, can
cause a re to burn in this area.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FLASHBACK FIRE. CLOSE
THE LP CYLINDER SHUT-OFF IMMEDIATELY. FOLLOW THE BURNER CLEANING
PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A FLASHBACK FIRE
• A re burning outside of the rebox, usually visible behind or under the control panel.
• Hot or melting control knobs.
• Large yellow, unruly ames accompanied by the smell of gas.
• Burners not lighting correctly, or partially lighting.
WARNING: AT FIRST SIGHT OF YELLOW, UNRULY FLAMES, POORLY LIT BURNERS ACCOMPANIED
BY THE SMELL OF GAS, SHUT DOWN YOUR GRILL, AND PERFORM BURNER CLEANING
MAINTENANCE, OUTLINED IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL, PG 15.
CLEANING THE COOKBOX
Excessive build-up inside the rebox can lead to grease res and overheating.
1. Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris o the interior surfaces of the burner box, and into the grease tray
liner.
IF A MORE THOROUGH CLEANING IS REQUIRED:
2. For stubborn build-up use a grill degreaser to loosen up debris and then repeat step 1.
CLEANING THE
GREASE COLLECTION SYSTEM
The grease collection system consists of 2 parts: rear pull-out grease drawer and removable grease cup
with liner. These components were designed to be quickly and easily removed, cleaned and replaced, on a
regular basis to ensure safe operation of your barbecue.
CAUTION: Keep your grease collection system free of build-up. Failure to clean these components may
result in elevated cooking temperatures causing uneven heat, are-ups, as well as dangerous grease res.
CLEANING PORCELAIN CAST IRON COOKING GRATES
IF A MORE THOROUGH CLEANING IS REQUIRED
The Porcelain cast iron cooking grates supplied with your new grill offer superior heat retention and
distribution. By regularly seasoning your grates you are adding a protective coating, which will aid in resisting
corrosion and increase your grates non-stick capabilities.
