parts.
14. Never store propane tank in an enclosed area. If cooker is stored in
doors after use, disconnect the propane tank for outdoor storage.
15. The Superb regulator and hose assembly must be used, no
substitutions. Other regulators or no regulator used at all could
result in dangerous gas leakage and improper burner performance.

Assembly Instructions
REQUIRED TOOLS: Pliers or adjustable wrench and screwdriver.
1. Bolt legs in place by inserting short bolts through holes in corners
of main top, then through slot at top of leg. Screw nuts onto the
bolts. Attach drip pan using four of the short bolts. Insert bolts
through hole in center of leg and through corner of pan. Apply nuts
and tighten securely. Now tighten leg bolts.
2. Install manifold clamps. Insert two long bolts through manifold
clamp holes in the main top. Attach the two manifold clamps loosely
underneath top, using nuts. Place manifold pipe with valves attached
into the clamps. Align the gas valves with center of large opening in
top. The adjusting hood of the valve should face the rear of the
stove. Now tighten the manifold clamps securely. Place the valve
knobs on valve stem, making sure that the control valve is in the off
position. Knob should be in the vertical position. Manifold Pipe
thread is 3/8 male IPS.
3. To install burners: If stove is to be used with LP or bottled gas, the
air shutter (round metal disc) should be partially opened and then
locked in place by tightening the air shutter screw. The hole in open
end of burner slides over the adjusting hood of the gas valve. The
rear part of the burner is attached to hole underneath main top using
long bolts with nuts. Fasten securely.
4. The grates are installed by inserting the two extended legs on grate
into corresponding holes in main top on each side of burner
opening.
5. Always use teflon tape or thread sealer on pipe threads.
FOR MINI-STOVE MODELS (NUMBER MS-100, MS-200, MS-
300))
6. Remove the main top by pulling upward. Install the two manifold
clamps, using the long bolts with nuts, to the bottom front of frame.
Do not tighten clamps.
7. Insert the manifold pipe with valves attached into the clamps; open
end of manifold should extend through hole in left side of frame.
Tighten the manifold clamps. Burners are fastened to burner hangers
already installed. Then assemble in same manner as above.
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
After assembly is complete, connect stove to gas supply and check for
gas leaks before lighting. Make sure proper fittings are used for connec-
tion. (To operate gas valve, push in before turning.)
1. Turn brass control valve so knob is in vertical position until it is
tight. (This shuts off flow of gas from the regulator to the
burner.
2. Open LP cylinder valve or gas supply by 1/4 turn. This allows gas
into the regulator and stops it at the brass
control valve.
3. Apply gas detector fluid (or soapy dishwashing solution) on all
connections, especially around the regulator, valve and POL-
cylinder connection. Any bub-bles that appear indicate a gas leak.
If so, turn off gas and tighten the fitting. If a leak
persists, pipe thread compound may be needed on
the threads.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
TO LIGHT
1. When you are sure there are no gas leaks, turn cylinder valve and
brass control valve to closed position.
(To operate gas valve, push in before turning.)
2. Re-open LP cylinder valve fully.
3. Re-open brass control valve 1/4 turn.
4. Keeping hands and face away from the top
of the burner, light with a fireplace match
or long-nose lighter.
5. Adjust the brass control valve for desired
flame height.
