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:

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

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

-Gas odor

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.

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).
