Question:
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the
heating and performance of your side burner so
factor in these elements when positioning your side
burner outdoors for cooking.
In
windy conditions
, always position the front of
side burner to face oncoming wind to reduce smoke
and heat blowing in your face and prevent potential
hazards to yourself and side burner.
Use your side burner at least
3 feet away
from
any wall or surface.
Use your side burner at least
3 feet away
from
combustible objects that can melt or catch fire (such
as vinyl or wood siding, fences, and overhangs), or
sources of ignition (including pilot lights on water
heaters and live electrical appliances).
Never
use your side burner in a garage, porch,
shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never
use your side burner on a balcony, deck, or
patio above the ground floor of your home.
Never
obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your side burner housing.
Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG models.
Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.
Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
For Natural Gas shut off NG valve.

Answer:
The h umming sou nd is gas flowin g th ro ug h th e
regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your side burner. Loud or
excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and
intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's
excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the
way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety
device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to
your side burner. Lighting the Burner farthest from the
fuel source every time will help eliminate air pockets in
the manifold. Note: This procedure should be done every
time a new LP Gas tank is connected to your side burner.
Question:
Answer:
If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs
replacing you can light your side burner using the Manual
Lighting Stick. The Lighting Stick is designed to hold a
paper match and allows you to safely insert a match
through the Pot Support without getting close to the
Burner. To light your side burner manually, insert a paper
match into the Manual Lighting Stick and follow steps 1
through 5 of the Basic Lighting Procedures. Then, light
the match and place the Lighting Stick through the Pot
Support. Turn the nearest Burner Control Knob to the
HI/ setting to release gas. The Burner should light
immediately.
Answer:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver CSA
label placed on the side burner. The CSA label is located
on the inside of the side burner lid.
