Spiders, Earwigs, and other insects find the venturi tube and burner of barbeques to be ideal nest
building areas. Webs, or the insects themselves, can block the flow of gas, which may cause flash-
back (a fire in the venturi tube). Always inspect these areas prior to operation of the grill.
Inspection Procedure:
1. Be sure that the
grill is cold.

gas is off.

grate by depressing
the grate at the
tabs and turning
the grate clockwise
until it is free of
the holding clips.

unscrewing it counter-
clockwise. Take care not
to damage the igniter
electrode. Inspect the
burner at this time and
clean as required.

the column.

the oriface (A) to
the detent in the
venturi tube (B).

the venturi tube
for obstructions.

by running a
small brush or
similar cleaning
item through the
venturi tube
11. When
the blockage
has been
removed, align the slot in the ori-
face (A) to the detent in the ven-
turi tube (B). Insert the hose and
