  WARNING
  
  

• Always close LP tank valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP tank form specified operating position.

• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near appliance or in enclosed areas. NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas released from the safety relief valve. Failure to follow these instructions exactly could cause a fire resulting in death or serious injury.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is non-toxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Tank Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge tanks before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank volume. Volume of propane in tanks will vary by temperature.

WARNING
Do not put hands or any other body parts over the burner during lighting or when in use to prevent burns.

1. Turn burner valve on and twist the red ignitor knob until the burner lights.
2. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s) off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting procedure. If built-in ignitor will not light follow the preceding steps and hold a lit long igniter or match next to the burner when opening the control valve.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired height. Flame should be compact and blue in color.
4. Avoid getting dirt in the valves, regulator, and burners.
5. To shut burner off, turn the valve to off. (Clockwise)
   If the flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the appliance
   valves OFF and WAIT 5 minutes before attempting to ignite. 

Burner Flame Check

• Light burner; rotate knob(s) from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Always check flame prior to each use. A good flame should be blue with minimal yellow tip. Some yellow tips on flames are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
  
  

Turning LP Cooker Off

• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP tank OFF by turning
  hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

WARNING

All cleaning and maintenance should only be done when the appliance is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the LP cylinder. DO NOT clean any part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.

Hose Check

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hose assembly before using appliance. Use only valve/ hose / regulator specified by manufacturer.  See product sheet for hose & regulator information.

Cleaning The Burner
NOTE: Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the burner. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner and orifice. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to the appliance. To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect burner tube often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Correct care and maintenance will keep your appliance operating smoothly. Clean regularly as determined by the amount of use.

NOTE: Clean the entire appliance each year and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2 times a year or more depending on usage). Cleaning should be done where detergents won’t harm patio, lawn, or the like. Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

Suggested Cleaning Materials

• Mild dish washing liquid detergent
• Wire brush
• Nylon cleaning pad
• Hot water
• Paper clip
• Soft brass bristled brush

Component Cleaning

• Burner should be wiped clean. Hot soapy water and a soft bristle brush can be used to clean the burner surfaces. Clean clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip. Replace corroded or damaged burners that would emit excess gas.
• COOKING SURFACES, POTS AND PANS: Clean the cooking surface with soapy water and a nylon cleaning pad.
• After appliance has cooled, wipe areas where paint and finish have burned off to minimize rusting.
