Thanks Eric, But unfortunately this 'manual' does not show how to get at the burner assembly. It doesn't look like taking the burner orifices apart will allow the top of the stove surface to come off. Does anyone know how to get at the burner assembly? Does the fridge have to come out? Does the face plate at the knobs come off? Or does the burner top surface come off? If someone knows they could save me a bit off the learning curve.

That manual is at (the address will sound familiar...): ftp://gerry.vanagon.com/pub/propane-manuals-89-westy/ See the files 'Stove Manual 01.jpg' and 'Stove Manual 02.jpg'.

HA! That key is still available! I ordererd it recently, the number is 255 070 605. I believe I paid something like $10 CND. There is no stock at the Canadian/US warehouses, it had to come from...Germany. Took about a week. Éric |
