CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BURNER FLAME CHECK

Light the burner and adjust the flame with the 

regulator control valve. Always check the flame 

prior to each use. The air damper mounted on 

the burner helps control the amount of primary 

air that mixes with the LP gas. A blue flame with 

little or no yellow flame will provide the best heat. 

Adjust the air damper by turning it clockwise or 

counterclockwise to achieve the desired flame.

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE WILL 

KEEP YOUR APPLIANCE OPERATING 

SMOOTHLY

CLEAN THOROUGHLY AFTER EVERY USE
 NOTE: 

Clean the entire appliance each year 

and tighten all hardware 1-2 times a year or 

more depending on frequency of use.

  1.  Turn the appliance OFF at the regulator 

control valve and at the LP tank valve 

before cleaning. Check that there is no 

flame or gas smell and that all valves are 

in the OFF position. Make sure that the 

regulator is properly disconnected from the 

LP tank prior to any cleaning.

  2.  Any component that has been in contact 

with food must be hand-washed with warm 

soapy water and a nylon pad. If the cooking 

pot(s) have black soot cooked onto the 

outside finish it can be scrubbed off with 

steel wool. DO NOT spray oven cleaner on 

aluminum cooking pots to remove grease 

or soot, as it will cause the finish to become 

dull.

    If food remains stuck to the Twist & Drain

TM

basket or the poultry stand, place in hot 

water and allow to soak. After cooling, scrub 

with nylon pad.

    If hard water causes darkening on the 

interior of the cooking pot(s), fill to the level 

of the darkened area with a mixture of 

water, cream of tartar and vinegar (1 quart 

of water, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar, 1/2 

cup vinegar), boil for 10 minutes.

  3.  Confirm that all components are completely 

dry before using or placing in storage.

  4.  It is recommended to thoroughly clean the 

appliance prior to every use.

  5.  Store all components in a clean, dry location 

when not in use.
