Flash-Back Fires
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of gas, and often build nests inside your
barbecue’s burners, causing the potential risk of a Flash-Back fire. Lighting your burners
without first cleaning the venturi tubes, port holes, and interior of your burners, can lead to a
serious Flash-Back fire resulting in property damage and/ or personal injury.
Characteristics of a Flash-Back fire
• Burners will burn with large yellow flames
• Hot or melting control knobs
• A fire or flash of fire burning outside of the burner box,
usually visible behind or under the control panel
• Burners may not light
Prevent “Flash-Back Fires” by:
• Remove burners to clean and clear blockages
• Clean tip of valve gas jet to remove any build-up or blockages
WARNING:
At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, or poorly lit burners, shut down your BBQ and remove and
clear obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.

• DO NOT throw water on a fire
