Side Burner Owners Manual

BURNER START-UP - Burner Safety
For Household Outdoor Use Only – DO NOT use indoors or in any type of enclosed area such as a
garage, shed or breezeway. Keep clear of trees and shrubs. The side burners are not intended for
installation in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation. Not
for commercial use. The area surrounding your new side burner should be kept clean and free from
flammable liquids and other combustible materials such as mops, rags or brooms, as well as solvents,
cleaning fluids, and gasoline.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes and from explosion and fire as
a result of leaking gas, use only outdoors in an open area with good ventilation. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air. Never use the side burner in windy conditions. If located in a
consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere
to the specified clearances listed.
Do not leave the side burner unattended while cooking. Do not use natural gas in a unit designed for
liquid propane gas or vice versa. Do not use fuel such as charcoal briquettes on the side burner. Keep
children and pets away from hot burner. DO NOT allow children to use or play near the side burner.
Never attempt to repair or replace any part of the side burner yourself unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other services should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Never lean over an open burner. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the
burner. Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or long sleeves while using the side burner as some fabrics
can be highly flammable. Have an ABC fire extinguisher accessible. Never attempt to extinguish a
grease fire with water or other liquids. Never use aluminum foil on the burner grids, this can alter
airflow for proper combustion and also build up heat in the control area causing the knobs and igniter
to melt. When using the side burner, do not touch the burner grid or immediate surroundings as
these areas become extremely hot and can cause burns. DO NOT allow grease or other hot material
dripping from the burner onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply immediately. After the side
burner has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve, hose and regulator,
perform a leak test before continuing use. Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food
on the side burner. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in
serious personal injury or damage to the side burner.
Keep any electrical supply cords away from water or heated surfaces. Electrical cords should be
placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard. Keep gas supply lines as short as possible.
Never move the side burner when hot. DO NOT use while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. DO
NOT store a spare gas cylinder under or near your side burner. In the event that a burner goes out,
turn burner knobs to the full OFF position. Do not attempt to use the side burner until the gas has had
time to dissipate. Do not use side burner until leak check has been made. Turn off the cylinder valve
when your side burner is not in use. Ensure the control knobs are in the “OFF” position when not in
use.
