CAUTION: Your LP tank connection is equipped
with an excess flow device. If it activates it reduces
the flow of gas to the burner. If this should occur
turn off the LP tank and turn the test valve OFF. Wait
5 minutes for the gas to clear. Then turn on the LP
tank and slowly turn the test valve ON and try to

Insect Alert
Your Performer Grill, as well as any outdoor gas
appliance, is a target for spiders and insects. They can
nest in the venturi section of the burner tube causing
gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 5. This
could result in a fire in and around the burner tube under
the bowl panel. It can cause serious damage to your
barbecue, rendering it unsafe to operate.
We strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the
burner tube at least once a year, or if any of the
following symptoms occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing very yellow and lazy.
2. Burner makes popping noises.
DANGER
Failure to correct these symptoms
may result in a fire which can cause
serious bodily injury or death and cause
damage to property.
