BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
•
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

Although your burner is constructed of cast iron, it may rust as a result of the extreme heat
and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and
other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. A
blocked burner tube can prevent gas flow to the burner and could possibly
result in a burner tube fire. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these
