To Remove and Replace the Grate
To remove the grate, wait until cool, squeeze and release
the two fingers adjacent to the opening in the ring. To
replace, align the two protecting fingers with the two
holes in the burner bowl, squeeze and release.
To Clean Burner Bowl and/or Deck
Remove grate and use any brand of metal cleaner or
polish intended for stainless steel. Be careful not to
damage or bend the spark igniter electrode (see
Troubleshooting section if this happens).
To Clean Up After a Major Boil-over
If a great amount of liquid or other material has
overflowed the burner bowl and run down into the interior
of the Cook Top, it will be caught by a secondary drip
bowl inside. You can access and clean out this bowl as
follows:
Remove
the butane fuel canister from the appliance.
Remove
the four (4) mounting screws.
Carefully lift
the Cook Top up and towards you,
watching to ensure that the vent hose is coming along
with it. If there is resistance, STOP. The vent hose
may be clamped or secured to some structure under
the stove. Investigate, free the hose, and continue.*
Clean
out the drip bowl.
Reverse
the above, being careful not to damage any
of the small gas tubes or catch the lidstay or lid
safety interlock cable on the sheetmetal divider.
Confirm
that the glass lid opens and closes smoothly.
Replace
the (4) screws
snugly, but not tight
– or you
will distort the stainless steel deck.
* Note: If the vent hose was originally installed with no
slack, you may have to disconnect the hose from its vent
fitting at the far end. If you do this, you
must
reconnect it
after the cleanup is completed!
Servicing the Spark Ignition System
This system consists of a piezo element actuated by the
gas control knob, an electrode at the burner, and a
connecting wire cable. This is a very simple and reliable
system. Failure to ignite the burner after two or three
attempts is probably due to changes in the electrode gap
caused by over-energetic cleaning of the burner bowl.
(See Troubleshooting section) Remember: if the built-in
ignition system refuses to operate, you can always light
the burner with a match or barbecue lighter until service
can be arranged.
Servicing the Safety Shell and End Cap
Door and safety shell: If this assembly does not rise
up smoothly when the gas knob is rotated to the
“door open” icon or does not open at all, STOP. Do
not force the door. Contact Customer Service or see
Troubleshooting.
End Cap (See Fig. 8) : Inspect the gasket seal several
times a season. If it is damaged, frayed or peeling
call KENYON Customer Service for a replacement.
Inspecting the Venting System
Confirm that the vent hose, vent fitting and check valve
are intact and not damaged. Do this annually or following
any major accident, sinking, immersion or other damage
to vessel.
Confirming Glass Lid Safety Interlock Function
Your
KISS
KISS
KISS
KISS
Cook Top has a special feature that
automatically shuts off gas to the burner if a careless
operator closes the lid on a lit burner. You should
occasionally check to confirm this interlock is operational
as follows:
REMOVE
the fuel canister from the stove, replace
gas compartment end cap, close gas compartment
door.
Rotate
the gas control knob counter-clockwise to the
high flame position.
Release
the lidstay,
slowly
lower the lid to fully
closed. The gas knob should rotate itself clockwise
back almost to the gas door open icon. The knob
may or may not pop up when it gets to this position.
If the interlock is not working as described,
Contact KENYON Customer Service.
