7. Storage
•
Always allow the unit to cool down and be cleaned before storing.
•
Turn off the gas supply to the appliance, disconnect and remove the gas supply from the appliance.
•
Never store an appliance with the gas supply connected, this is an unsafe practice.
•
Store the appliance and gas supply in a well-ventilated area away from combustible material. Storage of cylinders should preferably be
outdoors and must NOT be in a basement.
8. Maintenance & troubleshooting
Maintenance
•
If you clean and maintain your appliance on a regular basis, the life of your appliance will extend and the possibility of problems will
decrease.
•
We recommend the service of your appliance to be every twelve (12) months by a service agent to ensure continued efficient operation.
•
This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
•
Check your gas hose and connections regularly for any signs of leaks and every time the gas cylinder is re-filled or fitted to the appliance
with every use.
Troubleshooting
In the case of a spattering flame or jet blockage:
•
Clean your burner ports in case of an over spill.
•
We recommend to clean or replace the jets every six (6) months to ensure continued efficient operation of your appliance.
•
Should the appliance operate abnormally after storage and all checks have not isolated the problem, the jet may be blocked. A blocked
jet would be indicated by a weaker yellowish flame or no flame at all in extreme cases. Under these circumstances it will be necessary to
remove and check and thoroughly clean out any foreign matter which may have gathered in the appliance.
•
This may be done by removing the jet using standard tools and blow any dirt from the jet, alternatively, you may purchase new jets from
your local store. Do not attempt to clean the jet mechanically.
Replacing a blocked jet
•
Your appliance is fitted with a specific size jet to regulate the correct amount of gas.
•
Should the hole in the jet become blocked, this may result in a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to clean the jet with a pin or
other such device as this may damage the orifice, which could make the appliance unsafe.
•
To replace the jet: Remove the fat pan (Fig. 6). Gently unscrew the burner assembly (Fig. 7). Remove the three screws from the heat shield
plate and remove the heat shield (Fig. 8), taking care not to damage the piezo electrode. The jet can now be removed using a suitable
spanner (Fig. 9). Do not use pliers on the jet as this may
damage the jet, making it unusable or impossible to
remove. Screw the new jet into the valve. Do not over-
tighten as this may damage the jet.
•
Reverse the above procedure to re-assemble the unit.
