Natural Gas Owner's Manual

VENTURI TUBES

Always keep venturi tubes clean. Blockages in the venturi

tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a

flashback fire. In fact, 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.

INSPECTING & CLEANING VENTURI

venturi cleaning tool (Accessory #77310 or #18270).
