Burner Flame Check
Light Burner, rotate knob from HIGH to LOW. You should
see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH.
Always check flame prior to each use. The air damper
mounted on the back of your burner helps to control the
amount of primary air that mixes with the LP gas. A blue
flame with little or no yellow flame provides the best heat.
Adjust the air damper by turning it clockwise or
counterclockwise until the desired flame is achieved.
Turning LP Cooker Off
Turn all knobs to OFF position, turn LP tank OFF by
turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Hose Assembly and Regulator Check
Cleaning and inspection of pressure regulator and hose
assembly prior to use. If there is evidence of abrasion,
wear, cuts or leaks, the hose assembly must be replaced
prior to the appliance being put into operation. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the
manufacturer.
Cleaning the Burner
CAUTION
Check and clean burner / manifold tube for insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to fire beneath
the appliances.
Spiders’ nests or wasps’ mud inside the burner may cause fire. If a fire occurs,
immediately turn off gas supply at LP tank valve. (See representative illustration in Fig.1.)
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.
Steps for Cleaning the Burner
:
1. Remove brass connector / hose from the burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.

3. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory
FLEXIBLE
venture brush or bend a small hook on one end
of a long flexible wire such as the one shown in Fig. 2.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Reattach brass connector to burner.
