FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What is the problem if the cooker takes too long or will not heat oil or cooking ingredients
to desired temperature? My cooker’s flame appearance is very weak.
Answer: If the hose assembly has a Type 1 Connection (black/green knob), it is equipped with a
flow limiting device. This device is intended to limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between
the regulator and the appliance. To achieve a positive gas seal, which will allow for maximum gas
flow, the regulator control must be set to a completely OFF position before the cylinder valve is
opened. A good tip to remember is “TANK IS FIRST ON, LAST OFF.”
The Problem Can Be Remedied in Two Ways:
A. 1. Turn the regulator control to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by
turning it clockwise until it stops.
2. Check that the Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) is completely tightened to the
tank valve.
3. Wait 5 seconds for the pressure to equalize and for the flow limiting device to reset.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn the regulator control to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for
proper flame characteristics.
OR
B. 1. Turn the regulator control to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by
turning it clockwise until it stops.
2. Remove Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) from the tank valve. The flow limiting
device will now reset.
3. Re-attach Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) to the tank valve. Tighten completely.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn the regulator control to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for
proper flame characteristics.
2. How long will the propane in my tank last?
Answer: On average, a full tank will give you 4 to 5 hours of normal cooking.
3. I have a new style tank and it won’t connect to my regulator. What do I do?
Answer: The regulator supplied with this appliance has a Type 1 Connection which will attach to
the tank valve which has large threads on the valve outlet. These connect into the large plastic
handnut (black or green). This tank will also connect to earlier models of Metal Fusion cooker
regulators which had a brass plug connector with left hand threads, which will connect to the
internal threads of the Type 1 tank valve (with a wrench). If your tank has a quick disconnect valve
(plug in type) our regulators can not connect to this tank.
4. I have a brand new cooker and I cannot get the burner to light. What’s the problem?
Answer: Make sure the tank has been filled with propane. Tanks purchased from the store shelf
are most often sold empty. If this does not solve the problem refer to Maintenance Instruction
items #3 and #4, page 24. If you have questions please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-
3885.
