practice.
zTo 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
zMany 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

Cleaning the Burner
WARNING
Spider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the burner may cause fire at the air damper. If a fire
occurs, immediately turn off gas supply at LP cylinder valve.
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 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. Turn the damper to fully open.
2. To remove the above obstructions, use an
accessory flexible venturi brush or bend a
small hook on one end of a long flexible wire
or use an air hose.
3. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
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 and Maintenance
Correct care and maintenance will keep your appliance operating smoothly. Clean
regularly as determined by the amount of use. NOTE: Clean the entire appliance each
year and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2 times a year, or more depending on
usage). Cleaning should be done where detergents won’t harm patio, lawn, or the like.
