GENERAL MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
- Store cooker in a dry place. Do not store outside exposed to weather. Storage of a gas cooker appliance indoors is permissible only if the LP cylinder is disconnected. If storing cooker indoors, detach and leave LP cylinder outdoors. LP cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must NOT be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
- Spiders and small insects have been known to spin webs inside the burner tube. Obstructions in the burner tube interfere with the flow and mixture of air and gas through the burner. A clogged burner tube may result in a back-flash fire toward the LPG hose and beneath the cooker appliance. If burnertube becomes clogged and air flow restricted, remove the burner from the frame and clean the burnertube with a stiff, bent wire. Inspect and clean inside the top burner ports as well.
- For long term storage, cover the cast iron burner and regulator hose assembly in a plastic bag.
- Turn air control shutter to closed position after each use to reduce chance of insect intrusion.
