Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION:
• Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Check and clean burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the
appliance.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Cure your appliance periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
• To protect your appliance from excessive rust, it must be properly cured and covered at all times when not in use.
• Clean inside and outside of appliance by wiping o with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your appliance, clean and bu the aected area with steel wool or fine
grit emery cloth. Touch up with a good-quality high-temperature resistant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be bued, cleaned, and then
lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
GREASE TRAY
The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down after every use, then washed with a mild detergent and warm
water solution. Check the grease tray frequently through the cooking process. Don’t allow excess grease to
accumulate and overflow the grease tray. We suggest using a disposable aluminum tray in the grease tray.
BURNER
Extreme care should be taken when removing the burner,
as it must be correctly centred on the orifice before an
attempt is made to relight the appliance. Please refer the
adjacent diagrams for detail. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on how often you use the appliance.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make
nests in the burner tube during transit and warehousing.
These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction that could
result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire
is known as flashback and can cause serious damage to
your appliance and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most common cause. To reduce the
chance of flashback, you must clean the burner tube before assembling your appliance, and at least once a month
in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also, perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your
appliance has not been used for an extended period of time.
