Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. By following
these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
appliance will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to
a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire
in and around the burner tubes.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your appliance and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
If fire occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the
burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the appliance
has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and
burner ports.

If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform
correctly it should not be used until serviced or
