speci ed by Even Embers.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE:
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and
liquids.
• Although your burner is constructed of steel, it may rust as a result of the extreme heat and acids from
cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion
damage. If found, replace the burner.
WARNING: DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tube can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. A blocked burner tube can prevent gas ow to the
burner and could possibly result in a burner tube re. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these
instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the
appliance.
