PREVENTION
Flash-Back Fires
Blockages in the burner venturi caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a flashback fire.
A flashback fire occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests blocks the flow of
gas, forcing it back towards the control panel and control knob. The ignited gas, if not detected, can cause a fire to burn
in this area. If you experience any of the characteristics of a flashback fire. Close the control knobs and disconnect the
LP Cylinder. Follow the burner cleaning procedure outlined in the maintenance section of this manual page24.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A FLASH-BACK FIRE
•
A fire burning between the burner box and control panel, usually accompanied by
HOT OR MELTING CONTROL
KNOBS.
•
Burners may burn with
LARGE YELLOW FLAMES.
•
Burners may not light.
PREVENTING FLASH-BACK FIRE
1. After lighting, check for normal burner flames.
2. If irregular flames are found, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners, to remove blockages.
3. If knobs appear hot, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners, to remove blockages.
4. Clean tip of valve gas jet to remove any build-up or blockages.
WARNING
At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, or poorly lit burners, shut down your griddle and remove and clear
obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.
CAUTION
Always allow sufficient time for the griddle to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
WARNING
Never apply cold water or frozen foods to the surface of a hot griddle. This will cause warping.
DO NOT USE SOAP ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE. This will destroy the griddle’s seasoning.
