Troubleshooting
Improper Flame
(Flame should be blue
with hint of yellow on tips)
• Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air
passages clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
-Gas odor
-Stove makes popping noises
-Smoky flame.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner orifices. This condition can
damage the stove and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by
using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away
small particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean burner with warm
soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.
• If the stove has been left uncovered and is wet from rain, snow, yard
sprinklers, etc., allow to dry (at least 30 minutes prior to use).
• NOTE: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion
occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check for corroded areas
and repair them promptly.
