Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs and lay eggs
in the grills venturi tubes obstructing the flow of gas to the
burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control
panel causing damage to the grill and even injury to the
operator. This is known as a “flashback”.
In order to prevent flashbacks, the burner(s) should be
removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if
the grill has been stored for an extended period of time.
