
As the springs heat up and cool down they can lose
tension

If there is a gap showing above the fi repot bottom,
approximately 1/16 inch (1.59mm) or more, it means
the springs have lost their tension

Lost tension cannot keep the fl oor in the proper
position causing ignition problems and fuel falling
into the ash pan. If noted, call your dealer to replace
the springs.
RISK OF FIRE!
Do NOT store fuel:
• Closer than required clearances to combusti-
bles to appliance.
• Within space required for loading or ash re-
moval
