There are no predetermined maintenance intervals for this appliance
however the following should be observed.
1. Inspect hoses and replace if they are not in order, before us
ing the appliance as cracked and perished hoses can be danger-
ous replace if necessary with hoses as detailed in point 5.
2. Allow the appliance to cool sufficiently before attempting any
maintenance.
3. The appliance is fitted with a jet to regulate the correct amount
of gas. The small hole in the jet may become blocked, result
ing in a small flame or no flame on the burner. To clean, unscrew
it from the appliance Clean the jet by blowing the hexagon end,
or by using a jet cleaner. Do NOT attempt to clean the jet with
a sharp object, as this will damage the very small jet aperture
and cause the stove to malfunction. If the jet still does not func
tion, replace it with a new jet of the correct size. To re-assemble,
reverse the above procedures.
4. Check that the flexible hose is completely connected over the
nozzles at each end of the tubing and that it is held firmly in
place by hose clamps. Examine the flexible hose regularly, at
least each time the gas cylinder is changed and ask your dealer
to fit a new LPG hose if it becomes perished, worn or damaged.
5. Only LPG hose that complies with SANS 1156-2 or BS 3212 may
be used with this appliance.
6. Trouble Shooting
• A normal flame is blue and may have an orange or yellow tip. If
the flame is completely yellow, it may be that the jet is not
securely fitted. Re-tighten to give a gas tight seal. An over-filled
gas cylinder can also cause large yellow flames. Cylinder should
be returned to filling station and checked by weight.
• Check that the primary air supply apertures in the burners are
clear and free of obstructions.
• If the flame power drops or the gas will not light, check that the
gas cylinder still contains gas (shake to hear the noise made by
the liquid).If there is still gas,the jet might have become blocked
or partially blocked.
• If you suspect a blocked jet, follow the instruction in Section 3
above.
