TM
Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor
gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects.
They can nest in the venturi section Venturi(1) of the
burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can
cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.
Figure 5. This could result in a fire in and around the
air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious
damage to your barbecue.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect
screens at least once a year. Also inspect and clean
the Spider/Insect screens if any of the following
symptoms should ever occur.
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3. Barbecue heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.
ƽ DANGER
Failure to correct these symptoms may
result in a fire which can cause serious
bodily injury or death and cause
damage to property.

remove the burners for cleaning the screens. Refer to
Maintenance, Replacing Main Burners. Brush the
spider/inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush
(i.e. an old toothbrush).
ƽCaution: Do not clean the spider/insect screens
with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the
spider/insect screens or enlarge the screen
openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the
burner tube. Once the spider/insect screens and
burners are clean replace the burners.
If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, call Customer Service toll free at
