Do not submerge the control valve assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it. It must be
replaced.

blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.

clear away smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean dome and burner screen with warm soapy water if any
carbon deposits develop. Always be careful when cleaning the glass tube.
