CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

CAUTION: Spiders and smail insects occa

sionally spin webs or make nests in the grill

Burner Tubes during transit and warehousing.

These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruc

tion which could result in a fire in and

around the Burner Tubes. This type of fire is

known as a "FLASHBACK" and can cause

serious damage to your grill and create an

unsafe operating condition for the user.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", you

must clean the burner tubes before assem

bling your grill, 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.

Flashback Prevention

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see

CAUTION at right) dean the Burner Tubes and

Burners before fully assembling your grill. Re

move the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of

each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.

Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and

perform one of these three cleaning methods:

1.

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

works well) into a small hook as shown

below. Run the hook through the Burner

Tube and inside the Burner several times to

remove any debris.

C

2.

3.

Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.

Run the brush through the Burner Tube and

inside the Burner several times, removing any

debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each

Burner Tube. The forced air should pass

debris or obstructions through the Burner and

out the Ports.

Awarning

The location of the Burner Tube with respect

to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.

Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the

Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See

Figure 2. If the Orifice is not inside the

Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause

explosion and/or fire.
