CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

Using this appliance in an enclosed space may cause DEATH. Do not use in caravans, tents, marine craft, cars, mobile homes, or similar locations.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:
WARNING: This fuel, and byproducts or combustion of this fuel, contains Carbon Monoxide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.p65Warnings.ca.gov.

Safety Instructions

This appliance shall only be used in an above-ground open-air situation with natural ventilation without stagnant areas, where gas leakage is rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection. The following figures are diagrammatical representations of outdoor areas:

A. With walls on all sides, but without overhead cover.

B. With overhead cover and no more than two walls.

C. With overhead cover, at least 25% of the total wall area is completely open, and 30% or more a total of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted.

Caution

If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the barbeque’s venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas.
The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance, the burner and venture tube assembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.

How to Use

Turning on the unit

Please ensure the ignition knob is in the OFF position then turn on the stopcock of the gas cylinder at full. Push the Ignition knob and turn it to the left until a click is heard. Make sure that the burner has been lit.
When the unit is used after having been left unused for a considerable period, it sometimes happens that the burner fails to ignite. This is because air has been trapped in the rubber tubing. Repeat turning the ignition knob a few times until gas comes through.

Flame adjustment

To adjust the flame turn the gas control knob suitable position between “ON” and “OFF”.
The flame can easily be adjusted to any degree from “high” to “low” by adjusting the knob to rite desired position in one action.
After the gas has been ignited, adjust the air damper inside the gas table until slightly rounded. Vigorous blue flames are produced.

Turn off the unit

Turn the knob to the “OFF” position after use.
Do not put the gas cylinder upside down, and close the gas valve of the gas cylinder after use.

Cookware Diameter

Burner Model Pan Diameter| Left Burner| Middle burner| Right burner

Warning:

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local service center.
Users could not use the cooking vessels on the appliance that overlap its edges.

Gas Leak Testing

Turn all appliance control knobs to the “OFF” position.
Be sure that the gas regulator is tightly connected to the gas cylinder.
Turn on the gas valve. If you hear a rushing sound, turn the gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Connect properly before proceeding.
Brush soapy solution (mixture of half soap and half water) onto hose connections.
If growing bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn the gas valve of the cylinder off immediately and check the tightness of all the connections. If the leak cannot be stopped, do not try to repair it. The best solution is to replace the part.
Always turn the gas valve of the cylinder off after performing a leak test.

Warning: Turn off the gas supply in event of a gas leak.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning, always keep the knobs in the “OFF” position. The appliance is best cleaned while it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than let it cool.

The burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns by using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, a well-moistened soap-impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Ignition electrode

Keep ceramic “electrodes” and metal electrodes clean, to avoid lighting difficulties.
Check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Check-up and Care of the Unit

Be sure that the burner cap and the burner itself are in their correct positions.
If the flames become uneven, remove the burner cap and wash it with water. When the flame pores become clogged with dirt. Clean them with a brush or a similar instrument.
After washing the burner cap and the burner itself dry them thoroughly and then replace them in their correct positions. Light the burner and ascertain whether the burning is normal.
To fit the burner connect its nozzle hole with the nozzle and insert the projection at the back of the burner into the hole on the burner base.
If the electrodes of the igniter are soiled, the burner cannot be ignited easily. Inspect the electrodes carefully when you remove the boil-over receptacle and if they are soiled, clean them with a dry cloth.

Storage Conditions

Please make sure the appliance is turned off and disconnected from the gas cylinder before storing the appliance.
This appliance is to be stored in a dry and well-ventilated location free from direct sunlight, heat, and ignition sources.
If stored indoors, ensure that the location complies with the standard ANSI/NFPA 58.
Cover appliance if stored outdoors.
Note: Do not store when the valve is still connected to the cylinder.
