Maintenance

WARNING

•BURN HAZARD

•Do not touch or attempt any maintenance on stove for at least one hour after use.

•Make sure all controls are off and propane tank has been removed before doing maintenance.

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your stove, perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:

•Keep exterior surfaces clean.

•Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.

•Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passages clean. Signs of possible blockage include:

-Gas odor

-Stove makes popping noises -Smoky flame.

•Spiders and insects can nest in burner orifices. This condition can damage the stove and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away small particles.

•Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean burner with warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.

•If the stove has been left uncovered and is wet from rain, snow, yard sprinklers, etc., allow to dry (at least 30 minutes prior to use).

•NOTE: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check for corroded areas and repair them promptly.
