MAINTENANCE:
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your appliance, make sure you
perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
• At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of
spiders, spider webs or other insects.
• Air flow must be unobstructed.
Keep controls, burner, and circulating air
passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
Appliance does NOT reach the desired temperature.
Heat glow is excessively uneven.
Heat makes popping noises.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can
damage appliance and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using
a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fir
e hazard. Clean reflector, thermocouple and emitter
screen with a dry cloth if any carbon deposits develop.
• The burner is made from stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive
environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. Inspect the burner at least
annually for cracks, insect nests, excessive corrosion or any other damage. If the
burner is damaged, it must be replaced with a burner specified by the manufacturer
before the appliance is put into operation.
