2. Safety Nomenclature
2.1 General
Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and
developing a new product. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety
features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could
have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling the appliance.
Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or
precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially
hazardous situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble, use, or
maintain the appliance, you must be alert to potential hazards. You should
also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or
maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this appliance could result in a

15. Troubleshooting
Description
Burner lights but the flame remains very small and will not increase.
Possible Cause
Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) on LP cylinder has been activated because
valve was opened too quickly.
Poor gas flow due to regulator problems.
Blockage in burner tube.
Burner head is clogged with debris, or food particles.
Faulty or almost empty LP cylinder.
Kinked or damaged pressure regulator hose.
Regulator contains a thermal sensor which automatically shuts off the flow of
gas if the hose reaches temperatures between 240 to 300° F (115 to 150° C).
Regulator valve’s flow limiting device is stuck in closed position because valve detected a sudden change in pressure, limiting the amount of propane. Often caused by opening shutoff valve too quickly.
Burner will not light. LP cylinder valve is closed or tank is empty.
Shutoff valve is closed.
Blockage in burner from insects, spider webs, dirt dauber or wasp nests, and/or debris.
Burner will not light and burner tube is not blocked.
Air to gas mixture is too high. Insufficient gas flow.
Bad burner assembly. Low gas pressure; tank is almost empty. Faulty burner.
Yellow, sooty, or irregular flame.
Flame will not remain lit.
Air to gas ratio is set incorrectly. Blockage in the burner tube or diffuser.
Low gas pressure; tank is almost empty.
Too much wind.
Blockage in the burner tube or diffuser. Water in burner head.
Faulty burner.
Remedy 1. Close LP cylinder valve. 2. Open shutoff valve to allow pressure to
escape though burner. 3. Close shutoff valve. 4. Slowly open LP cylinder valve
to keep pressure from activating OPD valve. 5. Wait a few moments before
opening the shutoff valve and light the burner immediately. Remove any
blockage or debris. Clean the burner head.
Replace tank with new or refilled tank. Replace hose and regulator. If the
thermal sensor has melted, do not use the appliance until it has been
thoroughly inspected by a qualified service technician.
If appliance has been damaged by fire, regulator and hose assembly must be
replaced and possibly the entire appliance depending on damage. 1. Close LP
cylinder valve. 2. Open shutoff valve to allow pressure to escape though
burner. 3. Close shutoff valve. 4. Slowly open your LP cylinder valve. 5.
Slowly open shutoff valve. Open LP cylinder valve. Replace LP cylinder. Open
shutoff valve. Remove the blockage.
Close air shutter. Once burner is lit, open air shutter until flame turns
blue. Fully open gas valve on LP cylinder and shutoff valve. Replace with new
factory certified part. Refill or replace tank. Replace burner with factory
certified replacement part. Adjust air shutter until flame is blue in color.
