6.2 Maintenance Guidelines
1. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal
holes, and other signs of significant corrosion or rust
damage.
a. The burner is constructed of cast iron and steel
and may rust as a result of the extreme heat and
splatter from acidic foods.
b. Wire brush the outer surface of the burner to
remove buildup of food particles, dirt, or other
cooking residue.
c. Outward surface rust does not affect the use of
the appliance.
d. Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the
burners. Replace damaged burners with new
OEM parts.
e. Unauthorized modifications will void the
warranty.
2. If the burner is hard to light or does not appear to
be working correctly, check for an internal
obstruction or replace the burner assembly.
Obstruction of combustion and
ventilation airflow can prevent
proper gas mixture inside the burner, resulting in a
burner tube fire.

caused by insects or other small animals and/or
outdoor debris such as leaves, grass, etc.
To remove any blockage:
a. Close the LP cylinder gas valve and shutoff valve.
b. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire to re
move any blockage.
4. Check each flame port opening in the diffuser to
make sure there is no blockage from food or other
debris.
To prevent potential eye injury,
wear safety glasses when
cleaning the burner.
