1. Check that your hose assembly valve is set to not allow gas flow. If you have an adjustable
regulator, turn the regulator control counterclockwise until it stops. This is the OFF position. If
you have a non-adjustable regulator with a manual valve(s), turn the manual valve(s) clockwise
until it stops. This is the OFF position.
2. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve by turning the Type 1 fitting clockwise. Hand tighten with
the regulator positioned upright. Refer to the appropriate assembly diagram for the appliance,
page 12.
3. Perform the Leak Test:
4 . Before lighting the cooker, check that the jet pipes, orifice
and venturi tube on cast burners are free from obstruction.
The orifice under the jet tube should be positioned pointing
up directly through the tube as per Figure 1. The orifice on
cast burners must be properly threaded into the venturi tube
as per instructions on page 12. Both situations must be
corrected if necessary before lighting to prevent flashback.

leAK test
Before lighting the appliance, a thorough leak test must be satisfactorily completed using
a non-ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). This is to be
applied with a small brush to all gas joints after the cylinder valve is opened (no more than
1/2 turn). If bubbles are seen, indicating a leak, turn off the cylinder and tighten the leaking
connection until a further leak test shows no leaks.
If tightening the connection does not stop the leak, call Metal Fusion, Inc. (800) 783-3885,
for assistance.
