11.2 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.
3. Inspect the inside of the burner tube for blockage
caused by insects or other small animals and/
or outdoor debris, such as leaves, grass, etc. Remove
any blockage by:
a. Close the LP cylinder gas valve and
shut-off valve
b. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire to
remove any blockage.
c. Keep ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder
encolsure free and clear from debris.
4. Check each flame port opening in the diffuser to
make sure there is no blockage from food or other
debris.
a. Remove bolt (6c) holding the diffuser plate into
the burner.
b. Remove any debris or buildup from around or
under diffuser (6b).
c. Replace and retighten the bolt.
