Care And Maintenance - LOCO COOKERS LCBR90 El Manual Del Propietario

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE WILL
KEEP YOUR APPLIANCE OPERATING
SMOOTHLY. CLEAN THOROUGHLY AFTER
EVERY USE.
NOTE: Clean the entire appliance each year
and tighten all hardware 1-2 times a year or
more depending on frequency of use.
1. Turn the appliance OFF at the regulator
control knob and at the LP tank valve before
cleaning. Check that there is no flame or
gas smell and that all valves are in the OFF
position. Make sure that the regulator is
properly disconnected from the LP tank prior
to any cleaning.
2. Any component that has been in contact
with food must be hand-washed with warm
soapy water and a nylon pad after each use.
If the cooking vessel has black soot cooked
onto the outside finish it can be scrubbed off
with steel wool. DO NOT spray oven cleaner
on aluminum cooking vessels to remove
soot as it will cause the finish to become
dull.
If food remains stuck to the basket, scrub
with a nylon pad and hot water after basket
has cooled.
If hard water causes darkening on the
interior of the cooking vessel, fill to the
level of the darkened area with a mixture of
water, cream of tartar and vinegar (1 quart
of water, 2 tablespoons cream of tartar, 1/2
cup vinegar), boil for 10 minutes.
4. To clean the burner, use a brush to loosen
corrosion from the burner exterior. Clean
clogged gas ports with an open paper clip.
Replace corroded or damaged burners that
would emit excess gas.
5. To clean the burner tube/venturi, first
disconnect the regulator hose from the
burner tube. Look inside the burner
tube for nests, webs or mud. To remove
obstructions, use a flexible brush or bend
a small hook on the end of a flexible wire.
When obstructions are clear the regulator
hose can be connected to the burner tube.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

6. Confirm that all components are completely
dry before using or placing in storage.
7. It is recommended to thoroughly clean the
appliance prior to every use.
8. Store all components in a clean, dry location
when not in use.
CAUTION
• Allow appliance to fully cool to 115ºF (46ºC)
before performing any cleaning.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• Check burner and venturi tube for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can
obstruct gas flow and can result in a fire
beneath the appliance. Prevent blockages
by inspecting and cleaning burner and
venturi tube regularly.
DANGER
NEVER insert any tool or foreign object into
the LP tank valve outlet or safety relief valve.
You may damage the valve or cause a leak
which can lead to explosion, fire, personal
injury or death.
