3.  To turn the burners off:

 

Turn the gas control knobs 

back to the OFF position until 

you hear a click. Make sure 

the burners are out and turn off 

the main gas cylinder valve as 

well.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 

Before caring for, or cleaning your cooker, make sure that 

the main gas valve is in an “OFF or closed” position, and the 

stove control knobs are in the “OFF” position. If the stove is 

still hot, wait for it to cool down before cleaning.

• 

Ensure that there are no signs of blockage (eg. debris, 

insects, etc) in either the burner portholes, the primary air 

inlet or the neck of cast iron burners. Use compressed air or 

pipe cleaner wire to clear obstructions. A copper wire brush 

can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces. 

Brush it afterwards lightly with cooking oil to prevent the 

formation of rust while storing. 

WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS SHOULD BE DONE AFTER 

EVERY COOKING SESSION IN COASTAL AREAS. 

Taking care of your stove will prolong it’s lifespan.

• 

Check the gas hose regularly for wear or leaks. It must be 

replaced occasionally. Keep it away from heat sources and 

keep it clean.

• 

Wipe the stainless steel top and body with a dry cloth. If it is 

difficult to clean, use soapy water and then dry thoroughly 

with a dry cloth.

• 

Remove the burners in the opposite sequence to install-

ing them (Parts are interchangeable). Replace the burners 

again once cleaned and thoroughly dried.

• 

Wash the pot holder in water and dry thoroughly before 

replacing.
