Sometimes the cooker does not light or has a only a meager match flame. Other times, the flame blows
out, burns yellow
, or there is a flame inside the burner tube. These symptoms are common and easy to
remedy. The following Trouble Shooting Tips cover most questions and problems associated with outdoor
gas cooker appliances. Save this manual for future reference.
1. SYMPTOM:
Cooker lights but the flame remains very small and will not increase for heat-up and cooking.
CAUSE:
Both LP cylinder and regulator couplings contain an EXCESS FLOW safety device that shuts off 90 percent
of gas flow should the hose be cut or severed. Sometimes this safety device can be activated when lighting
the cooker. Opening the cylinder valve and/or regulator valve too quickly can create the rapid flow of
gas that activates the excess flow safety device.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
It may be necessary to disconnect, then reconnect
the regulator to the cylinder in order to reset the
gas flow system. After doing this, make certain
regulator control knob is turned CLOCKWISE
to OFF position. Repeat Lighting Instructions
steps 1 through 6 on on pages 12 - 13.
Follow lighting instructions and be certain
to S-L-O-W-L-Y open cylinder valve one full turn,
then S-L-O-W-L-Y open regulator control knob
when lighting.
2. SYMPTOM:
Cooker will not light .
CAUSE:
Orifice hole at bottom of jet tube may have a blockage.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Clean orifice hole of debris.
1. Using a thin wire; insert into the orifice hole
to remove blockage debris.
2. It may be necessary to disconnect orifice connector
from cooker; then clean orifice and re-attach
to cooker Jet Tubes.

6. Using an insulated mitt, carefully lower food basket into the cooking vessel, then cover with lid.
(Be certain food is not touching the water.)
7. Leave the cooker flame set low during cooking to maintain a steady boil.
Hint: Cooked seafood turns from translucent to opaque when done.
8. When steaming is done, turn off gas to the cooker. Wearing an insulated mitt, carefully lift the lid and remove food basket
from the cooking vessel.
Make sure Jet Tube is clean,
