Note:
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests
inside the venturi tubes. This especially occurs in late
summer and fall before frost when spiders are most active.
These nests can obstruct gas ow and cause a re in and
around the burner knob. Such a re can cause operator
injury and serious damage to the grill. To help prevent a
blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect the
venturi tubes often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or
air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.
Steps For Cleaning Venturi:
1. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory
flexible venturi brush or bend a small hook on one end
of a 20-inch long flexible wire such as the one shown in
Fig. 38.
2. Remove the cooking
grates set aside.
(Fig. 39)
3. Using a screwdriver, remove the self-tapping screws
holding the burner clamps beneath the case and
remove the burner. (Fig. 40)
4. Look inside lower end of venturi tube for nests, webs or
mud. If present, clean as noted in Step 1, Fig. 38.
5. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
6. Replace the burner and burner clamps, and position the
burner in the operating position.
7. Make sure the orifice fittings are inside the venturi tube,
then tighten all self tapping screws. (Fig. 41 and Fig. 42)
