CLEANING THE SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
YourDucane
®
gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for
spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tubes.
This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out the air shutter.
This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing
serious damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to prevent spiders
and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings.
WerecommendthatyouinspecttheSpider/Insectscreensatleastonceayear.Also,

may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or
death, and cause damage to property.
