Troubleshooting

If the appliance needs to be stored for a prolonged period of
time (e.g. over winter):
WITH gas cylinder attached:
1. Set control knobs to
0
/ off and close valve at the gas
cylinder.
2. Carefully clean the appliance.
3. Store outdoors in a dry and well ventilated location and
out of reach of children.
4. Cover the appliance.
WITHOUT gas cylinder attached:
5. Set control knobs to
0
/ off and close valve at the gas
cylinder.
6. Carefully clean the appliance.
7. The appliance can be stored in a dry location indoors (e.g.
garage or cellar)
8. The gas cylinder needs to be stored outdoors in a dry and
well ventilated location and out of reach of children!
9. Cover the appliance.
When removing the appliance from storage check for tube
burner obstructions.
CAUTION
SPIDER/INSECT ALERT
If the appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturis and tube burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create flashback
problems by building nests and laying eggs in the ap-
pliance’s venturi or tube burner obstructing the flow of
gas.
The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel.
This flashback can damage the appliance and cause se-
rious injury or death. To prevent flashbacks and ensure
good performance, the burner and venturi tube as-
sembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the
appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.
