Check the Flame
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire:
• Regularly inspect and clean Burner/Venturi Tube for insects or insect nests, especially after periods of storage. Spiders
or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Venturi Tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the Burner.
(Fig. 6) The backed-up gas can ignite and cause a fire. This is known as a “flashback.”
• Be sure Burner is re-installed properly before using grill.
WARNING
!
The Burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yel-
low tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (Fig. 5)
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame, especially after long
periods of storing the grill. Note that the minimum flame height should be 1/4”. If the flame is significantly yellow in
color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner
from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the Burner or Burner opening. Should you notice that your
Burner is getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the
“How to Clean your Burner”
sec-
tion to remove possible obstructions.
