  6. Adjust knobs to desired cooking settings.
  7. If burner does not light immediately, turn burner OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to clear, and repeat starting at Step 3.

Adjusting The Flame Using Air-to-Gas Ratio

Your outdoor stove requires the right amount of air to gas flow for even heating. Set correctly, the burner flame will be BLUE. NOTE: A touch of orange/yellow at the flame tips is fine. Flame adjusters are used to regulate the air flow.
Typically, higher temperature require the flame adjusters to be more open while with lower temperatures they will be more closed. Adjust as necessary.

Observe Flame Height When Lit

Flame should be blue and yellow in color and approximately 1/2 in. – 1 in. (1.2 cm – 2.54 cm) tall onHI setting. Temperature Management
Manage desired heat for cooking by adjusting burner knobs from LOW to HI. Weather conditions may cause heat fluctuations and require more heat in cold and/or windy conditions. Different types and amounts of food will also impact your temperature management and distribution. Being aware of all elements will help ensure optimal gas appliance performance and desired cooking results.

Disconnecting the  LP Cylinder

  1. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
  2. Turn the wheel on the LP cylinder clockwise until it stops.
