REPRESENTATIVE ILLUSTRATION
WARNING
Spider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the venturi may cause
fire at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately
turn off the
gas supply at the L.P. cylinder valve (see representative
illustration in Fig. 53).
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
flow and cause a fire in and around the burner valves. Such a fire
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. 54.

STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense
heat given off by the burners, this is normal and not considered
a defect.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of
the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surface
of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in
conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
BATTER
Y REPLACEMENT (FOR IGNITER):
The igniter is powered by a standard 9 Volt battery. To replace the
battery, locate the igniter module by opening the left side door. The
igniter module is located near the top edge of the left side panel.
When installing a fresh battery, observe polarity as marked on the
igniter module and push in firmly (Fig. 52).
