BURNER
Extreme care should be taken when removing the burner, as it must be correctly centered on the
orifice before an attempt is made to relight the appliance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on
how often you use the appliance.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tube during transit
and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction that could result in a fire in and
around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as flashback and can cause serious damage to
your appliance and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most common
cause. To reduce the chance of flashback, you must clean the burner tube before assembling
your appliance, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active. Also, perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time.
You should inspect the burner at least once a year or immediately after any of the following
conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The appliance does not reach temperature.
3. The appliance heats unevenly.
4. The burner makes popping noises.
WARNING
 ENSURE that the gas supply and the knob are in the OFF position BEFORE cleaning the
burner.
STEPS FOR CLEANING THE BURNER
1. Remove orifice/hose from the burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
3. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible
venture brush or bend a small hook on one end of a long
flexible wire such as the one in small picture.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Reattach orifice/hose to burner.
