CAUTION
NATURALHAZARD – SPIDERS
FACT:
Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burner. The
spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The
webs or nests can be very small, but they
are very strong and can block the flow
of gas. Clean burner prior to use after
storing, at the beginning of grilling season
or after a period of one month not being used.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to
reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An ob-
struction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner
tubes). The cooker may still light, but the obstruction
does not allow full gas flow to the burner.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP cylinder!
SOLUTION:
Wait for cooker to cool.
Follow the “Cleaning the Burner Assembly”
instructions. Clean burner often. Use a 12” pipe
cleaner to clean out the burner tube. You may also
force a stream of water from a hose nozzle through
burner tube to clean them.

structure; no closer than 10-ft from nearest building
or railing, keeping flames from any potential oil
grease fire away from nearest structure.
3. Position cooker DOWNWIND from the LP Gas
Cylinder keeping a minimum distance of 20” apart
so the heat of the cooker does not reach cylinder.
