PLATING:
1. The plating requires little maintenance and needs only to be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not
use any abrasive cleaning materials.
2. Avoid fingerprints on gold. Wipe off fingerprints before firing.
DOOR :
Check the gasket to see that it is still forming a seal. Replace gasket if there is any sign of wear.
VIEWING GLASS REPLACEMENT:
This appliance is supplied with high temperature 5mm high temperature ceramic glass that will easily
withstand the heat your unit was designed to produce. In the event the glass breaks, contact your dealer
or BLAZE KING to arrange for your glass to be replaced / repaired (see page 12).
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process.
Under normal conditions this moisture is expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not
cause any harm. In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any exposed surface
it comes into contact with. This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with
direct vent wall terminations as the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface.
What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. To
extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending the
vent out from the wall may present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is
the homeowners responsibility to ensure that there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST
FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally—Poor flame pattern, shutting down, etc…, this could be
an indication of ice build up.
IMPORTANT - GLASS CLEANING - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITS
One of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as
a white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have the problem for a time
and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with
the varying sulfur content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers
and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products
with varying results. The following recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case.
Ensure the stove is completely cooled before you change the bulb. Make sure switch on the
Battery pack / Receiver is in OFF position.
Turning the electric supply off will not prevent unexpected ignition !!
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a long
period of time build up will bake on. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of lessening the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth.
Most paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee
the results of these products.
a) BRASSO b) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO d) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control and is
not covered under warranty.
