Maintenance
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned
(as necessary) before every usage of your gas appliance to
ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.
General Cleaning
Perform a Burn-Off (see below). When appliance is cool, clean
the interior of the appliance if necessary by scraping the
bottom of the cooking plane and vacuuming.
Burn-Off
Ignite the burners as per "Lighting" (page 6). Operate gas
appliance on HIGH with door closed for 10 min. or until
smoking stops. Turn the gas source off then turn control
knobs to OFF.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned
at least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days
to ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.
Burner
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner to eliminate any
blockages. See "Venturi Tubes." While the burner is removed,
clean the interior of appliance by scraping the bottom of the
cooking plane and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see "Hose and
Regulator." (Page 4)
Orifice
Inspect the orifice to make sure it is not blocked, misaligned,
or loose.
Stainless Steel
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner to
polish and remove stains or marks. Extreme heat can cause
the color to change. This discoloration is not considered a
manufacturing defect.
Replacement Parts
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or
control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer,
approved service center, or contact the factory for repairs or
replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use
only original replacement parts.
Leak Test
When reconnecting that appliance to a gas supply, be sure to
check for leaks. See "Leak Testing." (Page 5)
Venturi Tube
Always keep venturi tube clean. Blockages in the venturi tube
caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a flashback
fire. In fact, although the gas burner may still light, the
backed up gas can ignite and cause a fire or small flare.
If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately.
Inspect and clean the venturi tubes if any of the following
symptoms occur:
You smell gas.
Your appliance does not reach temperature.
Your appliance heats unevenly.
The burners make popping noises.
INSPECTING & CLEANING VENTURI
TUBES
1.
Turn off gas by closing the propane cylinder valve.
2.
When appliance is cool, clean the venturi tube with a
pipe cleaner.
3.
The burner is accessible only after removing the box
underneath the oven.
