 

You should exercise reasonable care when operating your 
steam table and remember it will be hot during cooking and 

cleaning. 

 

 

Should the burner go out while in operation, turn off gas valve

attempting to relight using the lighting instructions found in 

this manual. 

 

 

Clean your Big John Steam Table  thoroughly on a regular

steam table is in operation. 

 

 

Do not store or lean items against steam table or fuel      
cylinders while operating. 

 

 

Liquid propane is NOT natural gas. The attempted use of 
natural gas in a liquid propane unit or liquid propane gas in 

a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.  

If you wish to change your unit from LP to NG or vice versa, 

please call a Big John Customer Service Agent to obtain 

required parts.

assembly while unit is in operation. 

 

 

Make sure the POL or QCC Connector is free from    
scratches or nicks which can cause gas leaks. 

 

 

Do not paint propane tanks any color other than white.  Any

personal injury, or death. 

 

 

NEVER store or use propane cylinders indoors. 

 

 

Always keep a propane cylinder in a secure, upright position 
while transporting or storing.  Do not lay tanks on their side. 

 

 

Never keep propane cylinders (full or empty) in a hot      
vehicle. Heat could cause the relief valve to purge propane 

creating a very dangerous situation. 

 

 

Always keep the cylinder valve closed when not in use. 

 

 

Do not store a liquid propane cylinder in/on any part of the 
appliance not intended for such use. Improper storage of a 

cylinder could lead an explosion, fire, personal injury, or 

death. 

 

 

Propane gas is denser than air and will collect in low areas.  
Use caution when dealing with any such fuels. 

 

 

Do not use a dented or rusted liquid propane cylinder as it 
may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane 

dealer. 

 

 

Do not use a propane cylinder with a damaged valve. 

 

 

Although your propane cylinder may appear empty, there 
may still be gas present. The cylinder should be stored and 

transported accordingly. 

 

 

If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the 
liquid propane cylinder: 

 

1.  Move away from the cylinder 

 

2.  Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself. 

 

3.  Call your fire department.
