BEFORE USING THE SIDE BURNER

UNPACKING YOUR SIDE BURNER

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Included with your TrueFlame Side Burner are the following loose items:
Cooking Grates: TFSB2(1), TFPB(2) Drip Tray: TFSB2(1), TFPB(1) Lid: TFSB2(1), TFPB(1) Lid Handle: TFSB2(1), TFPB(1) Manual: TFSB2(1), TFPB(1) Transformer: TFSB2(1), TFPB(1)

BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
Using your Side Burner in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow that the Side Burner is designed for. If wind pushes the heat into the control panel, then the control panel and knobs could become extremely hot. Your Side Burner pulls air in through its front and vents hot gases up through the grate. If the control panel or knobs are hot to the touch, turn the Side Burner off.

Set of orifices · If Side Burner is factory set LP, NG orifices will be
included · If Side Burner is factory set NG, LP orifices will be
included · The drip tray will be at the bottom of the unit and will
slide into the drip tray support brackets.
CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGED:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/ carton, be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the person making the delivery. File claim for damages immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the Side Burner is unpacked, notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed damage claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow or “T” fitting added. This drop in pressure affects Side Burner performance.
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL. A SIDE BURNER THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE SIDE BURNER SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS. ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction zones. Construction debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away from stainless steel at all times.

flathead screw” in the valve to the proper flame height.
POWER FRONT PANEL LED To power the external LED lights, insert the trans wire (two prong connection) into the transformer. Plug the transformer into an electrical outlet rated for the transformer.
MAINTENANCE TIPS Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with the chromium in the stainless steel to form this passive chromium oxide film that protects from further corrosion.
SIDE BURNER EXTERIOR Routinely wipe down your Side Burner exterior with warm water and finish by applying stainless steel polish.

Any contamination of the surface by dirt, or other material, hinders this passivation process and traps corrosive agents reducing corrosion protection. Thus, routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface.
SIDE BURNER INTERIOR · Burn off excess food debris and marinades for 15
minutes after cooking. · Use an approved stainless-steel oven cleaner to
remove grease build up. · Routinely have a professional barbecue cleaning
company detail the Side Burner for best results and longevity.
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE After each use wipe down the exterior of the Side Burner to remove grease and splatters. Use a commercially available stainless- steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces. Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of effort required
When removing stubborn stains: · Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the
direction of the grain. · Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on the Side Burner. · Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. · Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appearance of rust. · To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. · Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will `attack’ stainless steel · Be sure your TrueFlame products are well protected before using these products.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS
IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR LOCATIONS NEAR COASTAL AREAS AND POOLS: #304 stainless steel materials used in the construction of your TrueFlame Side Burner are highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product. Here are a few tips to avoid this if instructions are not followed exactly. · Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth (micro fiber towels work well). · Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp Side Burner. · In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the
Side Burner. · For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the Side Burner is dry, then cover
and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces. After your first use, certain areas of the Side Burner may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners; this is normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains there are many different stainless; steel cleaners available.
