Maintenance
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE:
To ensure safe and efcient performance, the following components should
be inspected and cleaned at least once per year or after any period of stor-
age exceeding one month.
Burner
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. (Fig. 20) Clean ven-
turi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages
caused by spiders or insects. See “Venturi Tubes”.
While burner is removed, clean interior of bottom oven by scrapping the
sides and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. See “Hose and Regulator”.
Perm a-Mold Shelves
Wash with soap and water. To enhance luster, coat lightly with cooking oil.
Exterior Finish
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the housing with a mild
soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly, then wipe them with
a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster.
For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH tempera-
ture (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.
Replacement Parts
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, DO
NOT attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service center, or contact the
factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance,
use only original John Deere replacement parts.
Leak Test
After reconnecting gas cylinder, be sure to check for leaks. See “Leak Test-
ing”
