2.0 is a whole new beast of a burner. Faster full-volume boil. A bigger, better built-in wind guard.
Easy to use and loaded with 65,000 BTU’s of brewing power for better beer in a fraction of the time.
LIGHTING THE BURNER
1. Ensure the regulator is fully closed and turn the air damper until it is
about halfway open.
2. Turn on the gas by twisting the gas cylinder valve counter-
clockwise for one full rotation.
3. Using long-handled matches or a lighter, light the burner
through the ignition hole while slowly opening the regulator.
4. If the burner does not ignite, close the regulator and allow
residual gas to disperse before making a second attempt.
Note: Locate the gas cylinder away from the burner to ensure it is
not subjected to radiant heat.
ADJUSTING HEAT OUTPUT
1. To increase heat output, turn the regulator counter-clockwise.
Clockwise rotation will decrease heat output.
2. Use the regulator and air damper to fine-tune heat output once
the burner has ignited.
TURNING THE BURNER OFF
With the flame still operating, turn the valve on the gas cylinder
“OFF”. Allow the flame to burn down until all remaining gas in the
hose has been used. Turn the gas controls on the regulator “OFF”
USE
CLEANING
Once the burner has cooled, use soapy water with mild detergent
to wipe down all surfaces.
NOTE: Do not allow water in burner outlets. Do not submerge the
burner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach.
MAINTENANCE
–
Periodically check for leaks using the soapy water method. If any
signs of weakness are detected on the hose or regulator, replace
immediately.
–
If the burner flame is unstable, changes color from blue to yellow,
or has a distinct smell, take the burner to your local appliance-
repair shop immediately for inspection.
CARE
ASSEMBLY
CONNECTION TO BURNER
Thread the male-end fitting of the Gas Control Assembly into the
burner Venturi Tube. Hand-tighten—overtightening will strip the
threads of the Venturi Tube.
NOTE: Once connected, the gas control assembly does not need to
be removed for storage.
CONNECTION TO PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
–
Ensure the gas cylinder and regulator are fully closed, in the OFF
position. Attach the regulator-end of the Gas control Assembly to
the cylinder and tighten.
–
Turn the gas cylinder counter-clockwise one full turn. Check the
cylinder for leaks with soapy water. If a leak is detected, shut off
the gas and re-tighten all connections.
