VENTURI TUBES
Always keep venturi tubes clean
•
Blockages in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects and
•
nests can cause a flashback fire
•
Although the gas grill may still light, the backed up gas can
ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at the control
panel or the side burner
If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately
Inspect and clean the venturi tubes (main burner, side burner,
rear burner) if any of the following symptoms occur:
1.
You smell gas.
2.
Your gas grill does not reach temperature.
3.
Your gas grill heats unevenly.
4.
The burners make popping noises.
