GAS LEAK TESTING
- Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area every time cylinder is connected to stove.
- Always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit cigarettes. Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
- Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporation’s Customer Service Department for replacement parts or repairs at 1-800-527-0717.
Step 1
Assemble stove per “Assembly Instructions” on page 3 of this manual. Make sure
burner control knobs are in “OFF” position.
Step 2
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid to three parts
water) to test for gas leaks in the connections. Apply a generous amount of
the soapy mixture to the regulator assembly at the regulator, along entire
length of hose, and at the stove fitting (located on the right side of stove).
Step 3
With the burner control knobs in the “OFF” position, check for bubbles where
propane canister attaches to regulator assembly, along entire length of hose,
and at stove fitting. If soapy mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through
the connections. Disconnect the propane canister. Retighten the connection
that is leaking gas. Repeat procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer
leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Step 4
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO
DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNERS.
Carefully follow “Operating Instructions” to light the burner and properly
operate this unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- DO NOT allow gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids to come in contact with stove while lighting or at any time during use of stove.
- DO NOT allow the gas hose to come into contact with any hot surfaces. Inspect the hose for damage such as burns, chafing, and kinks before each use.
Step 1
Make sure “Gas Leak Testing” from page 4 was completed and the burner control
knobs are in the “OFF” position and stove is on a flat surface away from
combustible material.
Step 2
Decide which burner to light first. Using a long match, hold the flame beside
burner. Turn the burner control knob SLOWLY counter-clockwise until the burner
lights.
WARNING: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the burner
control knobs “OFF” immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until gas fumes have
dissipated before attempting to light burner again.
Step 3
To light the second burner, reduce the flame on the first lit burner and
repeat Step 2 to the other burner.
WARNING: If second burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knobs “OFF” immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until gas
fumes have dissipated before attempting to light burner again.
Step 4
Adjust burner flame as necessary by using burner control knob. Turn stove
“OFF” using burner control knobs when stove is not in use.
Step 5
Allow stove to cool completely, then follow instructions in the “After-Use
Safety” and “ Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.
