Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Check burner and venturi tube for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can obstruct gas flow and can result in a fire beneath the appliance. Prevent blockages by inspecting and cleaning burner and venturi tube regularly.

DANGER: NEVER insert any tool or foreign object into the LP tank valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve or cause a leak which can lead to explosion, fire, personal injury or death.

CLEAN THOROUGHLY AFTER EVERY USE
NOTE: Clean the entire appliance each year and tighten all hardware 1-2 times a year or more depending on frequency of use.

Turn the appliance OFF at the regulator control knob and at the LP tank valve before cleaning. Check that there is no flame or gas smell and that all valves are in the OFF position. Make sure that the regulator is properly disconnected from the LP tank prior to any cleaning.
Any component that has been in contact with food must be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a nylon pad. If the cooking pot(s) have black soot cooked onto the outside finish it can be scrubbed off with steel wool. DO NOT spray oven cleaner on aluminum cooking pots to remove grease or soot as it will cause the finish to become dull.
If food remains stuck to the basket, place in hot water and allow to soak. After cooling, scrub with nylon pad.
If hard water causes darkening on the interior of the cooking pot(s), fill to the level of the darkened area with a mixture of water, cream of tartar and vinegar (1 quart of water, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar, 1/2 cup vinegar), boil for 10 minutes.
To clean the burner, use a brush to loosen corrosion from the burner exterior. Clean clogged gas ports with an open paper clip. Replace corroded or damaged burners that would emit excess gas.
To clean the burner tube/venturi, first disconnect the regulator hose from the burner tube. Look inside the burner
tube for nests, webs or mud. To remove obstructions, use a flexible brush or bend a small hook on the end of a flexible wire. When obstructions are clear the regulator hose can be connected to the burner tube.
Confirm that all components are completely dry before using or placing in storage.
It is recommended to thoroughly clean the appliance prior to every use.
Store all components in a clean, dry location when not in use.
