NOTE: Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests in-
side the burner. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before
frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow
and cause a fire in and around the burner and orifice. Such a fire can
cause operator injury and serious damage to the appliance. To help
prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect
burner tube often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pres-
sure will not normally clear spider webs.
All cleaning and maintenance should only be done when the ap-
pliance is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the LP cylin-
der. DO NOT clean any part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme
heat will damage the finish.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Correct care and maintenance will keep your appliance operating
smoothly. Clean regularly as determined by the amount of use. NOTE:
Clean the entire appliance each ear and tighten all hardware on a
regular basis (1-2 times a year or more depending on usage). Clean-
ing should be done where detergents won’t harm patio, lawn, or the
like.
SUGGESTED CLEANING MATERIALS
• Mild dish washing liquid detergent
• Nylon cleaning pad
• Hot water
• Paper clip
• Soft brass bristled brush
COMPONENT CLEANING:
• After appliance has cooled, wipe areas where paint and finish have
burned off to minimize rusting. A vegetable based oil can be used to

face with soapy water and a nylon cleaning pad.
• Clean the wire rack with a wire brush and soapy warm water.

clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip. Replace corroded
or damaged burners that would emit excess gas.
1. Remove orifice/valve from burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
3. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flex-
