BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
•Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•Although your burner is constructed of cast iron, it may rust as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
