PROPANE GAS SAFETY
• Your propane gas side burner (models ESB1LP and ESB2LP) is designed to operate on
propane gas only at a pressure regulated at 11 inches water column (WC) when equipped
with the correct propane orifices on the valves and a propane regulator on the supply line.
• EdgeStar LP side burners are designed to be used with a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg)
Department of Transportation (DOT) approved LP cylinder. No tanks larger than 20
lbs. are to be used. The tank must be marked in accordance with the latest DOT
specification for LP gas tanks: Specifications for LP gas Cylinders (DOT CFR49).
• Burners must be inspected and cleaned before each use.
Beware of Spiders
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during
warehousing, transit, and/or after long period of not using the side burner. These webs can lead
to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type
of fire is known as “flashback” and can cause serious damage to your side burner and create
an unsafe operating condition for the side burner user. Although an obstructed burner tube is
not the only cause of “flashback,” it is the most common cause. Frequent inspection of the
burners is necessary.
