CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 knob 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 basket, 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.
4. To clean the burner, use a brush to loosen
corrosion from the burner exterior. Clean
clogged gas ports with an open paper clip.
Replace corroded or damaged burners that
would emit excess gas.
5. To clean the burner tube/venturi, first
disconnect the regulator hose from the
burner tube. Look inside the burner
tube for nests, webs or mud. To remove
obstructions, use a flexible brush or bend
a small hook on the end of a flexible wire.
When obstructions are clear the regulator
hose can be connected to the burner tube.
6. Confirm that all components are completely
dry before using or placing in storage.
7. It is recommended to thoroughly clean the
appliance prior to every use.
8. Store all components in a clean, dry location
when not in use.
CAUTION
• Allow appliance to fully cool to 115ºF (46ºC)
before performing any cleaning.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• Check burner and venturi tube for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can
obstruct gas flow and can result in a fire
beneath the appliance. Prevent blockages
by inspecting and cleaning burner and
venturi tube regularly.
NEVER insert any tool or foreign object into
the LP tank valve outlet or safety relief valve.
You may damage the valve or cause a leak
which can lead to explosion, fire, personal
injury or death.
DANGER
DISCONNECTING REGULATOR FROM LP
TANK:

counterclockwise to the OFF position.
2. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel
clockwise to a full stop.
3. Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise to
loosen the connector. Loosen by hand only.
DO NOT use tools.
4. When disconnected, the regulator should
be hung from the hook attached to the
appliance.
