For Safe Use of Your Cooker and to Avoid
Serious injury:
Regulator/Valve Installation/Removal
1. Regulator should never be fully removed unless
damaged. Refer to regulator to burner
assembly instructions.

Leak Testing (1lb. Disposable):
IMPORTANT
Regulator/Valve Installation/Removal
During leak test, keep cooker away from open flames
or sparks and do not smoke. Cooker must be leak
tested outdoors in a well ventilated area.
• Leak test must be repeated each time gas cylinder is
replaced or after storage. Materials needed include
clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water
solution. Use mild soap and water. Do not use
household cleaning agents. Damage to
components can result.
1. Be sure control knob on regulator is in “OFF”
position. if necessary.
2. Brush soapy solution onto connection between
gas cylinder and regulator at (A).
3. Brush soapy solution onto connection between
regulator pipe threads and regulator, and
burner tube and orifice at (B). If growing bubbles
appear, there is a leak. Retighten connections
and repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.
If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas A cylinder from
regulator and check for damaged threads, dirt and
debris on regulator and gas cylinder. Also check to
see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at regulator
and gas cylinder openings. Remove any obstruction
that may be found and repeat leak test. If threads are
damaged on either regulator or gas cylinder, replace.

2. Allow Cooker to cool.
3. Remove the propane cylinder by turning counter-
clockwise until disengaged from the
Regulator/Valve.

cylinder when not in use to prevent dirt and debris
from entering Regulator/Valve.
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare cylinder under or near the
appliance or in an enclosed area.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An overfilled or improperly stored cyclinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
