MAINTENANCE OF OUTDOOR COOKERS AND ACCESSORIES
1. The area where the cooker will be used must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids. Before each use of the cooker, inspect and remove any
combustible items.
2. The flow of combustion and ventilation of air must not be obstructed. The cooker must be set in an open
area with 10ft. (3.05m) of space on all sides and no roof or overhang overhead. Check the location and
placement of the cooker before each use.
3. Before each use of the appliance check the burner/venturi tube for insects, insect nests, and other
obstructions. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
4. Follow all Lighting Instructions in the Use and Care Manual each time the cooker is used. Check the flame
for proper color and appearance. The flame should burn with a primarily blue color. If a strong yellow
flame is present, this could indicate an obstruction in the burner/venturi tube.
If there is any obstruction or a yellow flame, turn off the cooker and allow time for it to cool. Disconnect
the piezo by pulling the line away from the black plastic housing. Remove the burner shroud and steel
burner from the base of the smoker. Check the venturi tube with a flashlight to see if there is a blockage.
If a blockage is present, use a wire such as a coat hanger to slide into the venturi tube to remove the
blockage. Assemble and light the cooker again as per the instruction manual. If this does not resolve the
problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm (CST)
Monday through Friday.
5. Always use the LP Hose/Regulator assembly supplied with the appliance. Before each use of the
appliance check the LP Hose for evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks. If there is any damage to the
hose, the hose/regulator assembly must be replaced prior to using the appliance. Contact Metal Fusion,
Inc. at (800) 783-3885 for information regarding a replacement hose assembly. Only the LP Hose/
Regulator assembly specified by Metal Fusion, Inc. should be used with the appliance.
6. For purchase of any replacement parts which may have become damaged or lost, please contact Metal
Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm (CST) Monday through Friday.
