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.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:
• Mild dish washing liquid detergent
• Wire brush
• Nylon cleaning pad
• Hot water
• Paper clip
• Soft brass bristled brush
Confirm that all components are completely dry after cleaning and before storing.
Always allow appliance to cool to 115˚F (46˚C) before cleaning.
CLEANING THE BURNER
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 a fire in and around the
burner and orifice. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to the appliance. To help prevent a block-
age 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 the Burner:
1.Disconnect the regulator hose from the burner tube.
2.Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
3.To remove the above obstructions, use a flexible venturi brush or
bend a small hook on one end of a long flexible wire such as the one
shown in the inset picture.
When the burner is reassembled, align the threads of the regulator hose
to the center line of the burner tube and tighten with a wrench.
CLEANING THE POTS
1.Clean the cooking surface with soapy water and a nylon cleaning pad.
2.If cooking pots have black soot cooked on the outside, it can be scrubbed off with steel wool. DO NOT spray oven
cleaner on aluminum cooking pots to remove grease or soot as it will cause the finish to become dull.
3.If food remains stuck to the basket, place in hot water and allow to soak. After cooling, scrub with nylon pad.
4.If hard water causes darkening on the interior of the cooking pots, fill to the level of the darkened area with a mixture
of water, cream of tartar and vinegar (1 qt of water, 2 Tbsp of cream of tartar, 1/2 cup of vinegar), and boil for 10 minutes.
5.After appliance has cooled, wipe areas where paint and finish have burned off to minimize rusting.
6.Boiling with large quantities of salt is very corrosive and can cause pits in the pot and basket. To reduce the chance
of this occurring, do not allow salt water to remain in the pot for a long period of time after the pot has cooled. The
basket (if have) and pot should be thoroughly cleaned after each use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• Make sure your regulator is fully tightened on the propane tank. Try

unscrewing and re-tightening the coupling nut.
• Make sure your LP tank has propane.
• Make sure you press and hold the ignition button on ignition. It may take a
few clicks for the gas to catch fire.
• Check that the electrode is sparking. To do this, make sure the valve is
closed on your tank. Hold the ignition button while looking into
the burners. You should see a spark coming out of the electrodes. If there is
no spark, check the following:
1. Make sure the battery was installed correctly with the + end
toward the battery cap.
2. Try replacing the battery.
3. Unscrew and reinstall the battery cap. Ensure the threads
engage and the cap is tightened all the way down.
4. Ensure the wire connections are tight.
• Ensure that your tank has propane.
