REGULAR MAINTENANCE
•
CAUTION HOT SURFACES
•
Let the stove cool completely before cleaning,
maintenance, storage or transportation.
TO CLEAN
1. Move stove away from flame and other ignition
sources.
2. Remove propane cylinder and regulator from stove.
3. Wipe surfaces clean with a damp soft cloth and a mild
dish detergent. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.
4. You can disassemble some components of the stove
to assist in cleaning.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and
cleaned at least once a year or after any period of storage
over 30 days to ensure optimal performance, safety and
efficiency.
BURNERS
Remove burners and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush
to eliminate any blockages. See “Venturi Tubes.” (Page 7)
While the burners are removed, clean the interior of stove
base.
HOSE
Inspect and replace if necessary.
EXTERIOR FINISH
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the
stove with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the
surfaces thoroughly then wipe them with a cloth dipped in
cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair of paint
scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH
temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.
STAINLESS STEEL
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner to
polish and remove stains or marks. Weathering can cause
stainless steel to turn a tan color. This is discoloration and
is not considered a manufacturing defect.
RESIN COMPONENTS
Wash with soap and water.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or
control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer,
approved service center, or contact the factory for repairs
or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance,
use only original OMC replacement parts.
LEAK TEST
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be
sure to check for leaks. See “Leak Testing.” (Page 6)
GRID
Use a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry
with paper towel; never air dry grid or use a dishwasher.
