LP TANK REMOVAL, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling nut
counterclockwise by hand only, do not use tools to disconnect.
Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve. Failure to use safety cap as directed may
result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• A disconnected LP tank in
storage or being transported
must have a safety cap
installed (as shown).
Refillable LP-Gas cylinders
must be stored outdoors in
Safety cap
a well ventilated space, out
of the reach of children, and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area. Never leave an LP tank
inside a vehicle, which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store LP tanks in an area where children play.
• Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
• When the refillable LP-gas supply cylinder is not disconnected
from the stove, the stove and cylinder must be stored outdoors,
in a well ventilated space, out of the reach of children, and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed areas.
LP TANK
The LP tank used with your appliance must meet the following
requirements:
• Purchase LP tanks only with these required measurements: 12"
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)
capacity maximum.
• Be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications
for LP tank of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or
the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
• The refillable propane cylinder used with this appliance must
include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
LP TANK VALVE MUST HAVE:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or appliance.
• Safety relief valve.
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device
(OPD). This OPD safety feature is
identified by a unique triangular
hand wheel. Use only tanks
equipped with this type of valve.
LP tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
LP (LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS)
• LP gas is non-toxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For
Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP TANK FILLING
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tanks before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank
volume. Volume of propane in tanks will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under "Gas companies" for nearest
certified LP dealers.
LP TANK EXCHANGE
• Many retailers that sell appliances offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP tanks through an exchange service. Use
only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for
an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP
Tank" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting
to appliance.
LP TANK LEAK TEST
For your Safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated
area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep appliance away from open
flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap and water solution. Use
mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents.
Damage to gas train components can result. Brush soapy
solution onto all weld seams and entire valve area.
WARNING
If "growing" bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department.
SETUP USING HOSE AND REFILLABLE CYLINDER
1. Place LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Make sure burner valves are off.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use
cap and strap supplied with valve. DO NOT USE A POL
TRANSPORT PLUG (plastic part with external threads)! IT
WILL DEFEAT THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VALVE.
5. Attach hose to regulator & regulator to stove (as shown).
6. Attach hose to cylinder.
7. Slowly open cylinder valve.
8. Perform leak check on regulator to oven, hose to regulator and
hose to cylinder connections with soapy water. Arrows indicate
areas to be checked for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check
that the connection is not cross-threaded and that it is tight.
Perform another leak check. If there is still a leak, remove the
cylinder and contact the manufacturer for service and repair.
9. Turn off fuel at the cylinder and disconnect both ends of the
hose when not in use.
DISMANTLING HOSE AND REFILLABLE CYLINDER
1. Before dismantling high pressure hose, be sure gas pressure
in hose is eliminated.
2. Ignite oven and turn off gas valve on cylinder.
3. Allow flame to self-extinguish.
4. When flame is out, close valves on the appliance.
5. Remove hose.
LIGHTING OVEN INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not lean over the Oven while lighting.
1. Push the gas valve knob in and turn slowly to the high
position. The Oven Burner will ignite. (If lighting with a match,
light match and place it over the burner. Slowly turn on the
valve. Do not stand with head or arms over the burner.)
2. Keep handle depressed for 10 seconds.
3. If the burner does not stay lit repeat the process.
4. Adjust the controls to the desired position.
5. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control(s) off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure. If built-in ignitor will not light follow the preceding
steps and hold a lit long igniter to match next to the burner
when opening the control valve.
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the appliance
valves OFF and WAIT 5 minutes before attempting to ignite.
BURNER FLAME CHECK
• Light burner; rotate knob from HIGH to LOW. You should see
a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Always
check flame prior to each use. A good flame should be blue with
minimal yellow tip. Some yellow tips on flames are acceptable
as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
TURNING LP COOKER OFF
• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP tank OFF by turning
hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
HOSE CHECK
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace
damaged hose assembly before using appliance. Use only
valve/ hose / regulator specified by manufacturer. See product
sheet for hose & regulator information.
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should only be done when the
appliance is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the LP
cylinder. DO NOT clean any part in a self-cleaning oven. The
extreme heat will damage the finish.
CLEANING THE BURNER
NOTE: Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests
inside the burner. This especially occurs in late summer and
fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can
obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner
and orifice. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious
damage to the appliance. To help prevent a blockage and
ensure full heat output, clean and inspect burner tube often
(once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not
normally clear a spider web.
STEPS FOR CLEANING BURNER
1. Remove burner assembly from the oven.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
