SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
Your burner might be different
If your unit is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create "flashback"
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the
barbeque's venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of
gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control
panel. This flashback can damage your barbeque and
cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good
performance the burner and venturi tube assembly
should be removed and cleaned when ever the
barbeque has been idle for an extended period of time.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder and
disengage regulator from cylinder.
2. Remove top cover, cooking basket and cooking pot, shown
A. This will expose the burner from inside, shown B.
3. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
4. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
5. Disconnect electrode wire underneath appliance, shown C.
6. Remove screws and disengage control panel assembly from
unit, shown D.
7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several
times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube
several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to
make sure air comes out each hole.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve
opening. See illustration, shown F.
11. Reposition inner liner, cooking basket and top cover.
