Maintenance - Cleaning Venturi

Periodic cleaning of the venturi tubes is recommended for optimum burner performance, especially after prolonged storage or a period of non-use.

HOW TO CLEAN:

• Remove the burner (refer to ‘ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE’)
• Use a venturi cleaning brush and insert the brush into the venturi tube 1 inch at a time, then remove to prevent moving the debris upwards.
• As you remove the brush head inspect and discard any debris.
• Continue this procedure until the entire lengths of all venturi tubes are free of debris.
• Reinstall burner (as per assembly instructions), ensure the venturi tubes are seated over the valve orifices.
• Perform a Leak Test. ("how to perform a leak test")

It is possible that very small insects could make webs or nest in the venturi tubes, as they are naturally attracted to the smell of gas. This will partially or completely block the flow of gas through the venturi and is indicated by a smoky yellow flame, and/or a burner that is difficult or impossible to light. Ultimately, it may cause the gas to burn outside the venturis, which can cause a fire resulting in damage to your barbeque and potential personal injury. IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE PROPANE AT CYLINDER, OR NATURAL GAS AT MAIN SHUT-OFF VALVE. When the barbeque has cooled, follow the "How to Clean" steps above.

CHECK TO ENSURE THE BURNER HAS A GOOD FLAME EACH TIME IT IS TURNED ON.
