This can be removed with a brass wire brush.CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with aninsect screen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burnerbut does not entirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a softyellow or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To cleanthe inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that attaches theburner to the back wall. Slide the burner back and up wards to remove. Cleaning: Use a flexible venturitube brush to clean the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet.Check the burner ports and valve orifices for blockages. Burner ports can close over time due to cookingdebris and corrosion, use an opened paperclip or the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drillout blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cordless drill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner isremoved from the grill, but it can also be done with the burner installed. Do not flex the drill bit whendrilling the ports, as this will cause the drill bit to break. This drill is for burner ports only, not for the brassorifices (jets) which regulate the flow into the burner. Take care not to enlarge the holes. Ensure theinsect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris.Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner wheninstalling.
