REGULATOR, BURNER AND GAS VALVE CONNECTION & OPERATION
• Inspect hose before each use. If there are signs of abrasion, wear, cuts, or leaks, the hose must be replaced.
DO NOT USE.
• If unit is equipped with burner covers, remove covers. Never use burner covers during operation.
• Inspect burner before each use. Check burner and burner venturi tube for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to a fire beneath unit.
• Ensure the orifice is centered inside the venturi tube. Failure to properly assemble the valve orifice to the venturi
tube can result in gas leak or potential fire at connection. See assembly steps for proper assembly method.
• Ensure the igniter pin is properly spaced and aligned to the burner. Igniter pin should be
approximately 1/4" from the burner and aligned to the top of a burner port. See Figure 1.
Confirm spacing is correct by pressing the igniter button and ensuring spark.
• Connect hose regulator to LP gas cylinder.
1. Make sure gas cylinder valve is closed. Turn valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Make sure burner control valve on stove is in the off position.
3. Remove protective cap from gas cylinder and coupling nut, if applicable.
4. Center and insert regulator nipple into valve outlet on gas cylinder. Turn regulator
coupling nut clockwise until it stops. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. See Figure 5.
• Perform soapy water test.
• Before starting lighting procedure, make sure all cooking accessories and cooking vessels are removed from unit.
• When lighting burner, remove all parts inside, or on unit to prevent explosion from gas build-up.
TO USE:
1. Turn gas cylinder valve on.
2. Push burner control valve in and turn counter-clockwise 1/4 turn to HIGH setting.
3. Push ignitor button to light.
• If ignition does not take place within five seconds, turn burner control valve to off position, wait five minutes, and
repeat lighting procedures. If ignition still does not occur, see match light instructions.
• If flame goes out during cooking, turn burner control valve off, turn gas cylinder valve off, remove any cooking
accessories or cooking vessels from unit, and wait 5 minutes before repeating ignition instructions above.
• Burner control valve adjusts burner flame. Turn valve counter-clockwise to decrease flame. Turn valve clockwise,
slowly, to increase flame. Push burner control valve in and turn clockwise to shut flame off.
• Visually check burner flame. A correct flame should be blue with a small amount of yellow at the tip. An incorrect
flame is excessively yellow and irregular. See Figure 2. If an incorrect flame occurs, turn burner control valve to off
position, turn off regulator and gas cylinder valve. Allow unit to cool and then clean burner. Let burner dry
completely before re-lighting. Adjust the air shutter to the burner until the burner flame is as blue as possible. See
Figure 4.
• After use, turn burner control valve off, then turn gas cylinder valve off and disconnect tank.
• Type 1 regulators will have a hook, as shown in image below. The regulator hook is used to keep the regulator off
the ground when removed from the LP cylinder. Attach regulator to unit using hook. See Figure 3.
