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. Open top cover, remove cooking basket and cooking
Chamber, 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. Carefully lay the appliance on its back, with control
panel facing up shown C.
6. Disconnect electrode wire underneath appliance,
shown C.
7. Remove screws and disengage front legs from
appliance.
8. Remove screws and disengage control panel
assembly and heat shield from unit, shown D.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Carefully replace heat shield and control panel
assembly .
12. Reattach electrode wire to ignitor.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over
valve opening. See illustration, shown F.
13. Reattach front legs. Carefully stand the unit upright.
14. Reposition inner liner, cooking basket.
