CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturi's and burners.
Spiders or small insects are know to create
"flashback" problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi tube assembly should be removed and
cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for
an extended period of time.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder and
disengage regulator from cylinder.
2. Remove top cover, cooking basket and cooking pot, shown
A. This will expose the burner from inside, shown B.
3. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
4. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
5. Disconnect electrode wire underneath appliance, shown C.
6. Remove screws and disengage control panel assembly from
unit, shown D.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly (Continued)
7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several
times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner
tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve
opening. See illustration, shown F.
11. Reposition inner liner, cooking basket and top cover.
