WARNING

6.Propane gas is extremely flammable, follow these instructions:

•Use only LP gas cylinders marked "Propane" which are U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) certified.

•Always use the gas pressure regulator supplied with this product which is regulated for an outlet pressure of 15 PSI; the use of other regulators or no regulator could result in dangerous gas leakage.

•Check all gas connections by following directions in the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Never test for gas leaks with a lighted match or open flame. Do not operate this cooker with a gas leak.

•Propane is heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. Keep propane tank, at all times, in a well ventilated area. If you smell gas – leave the area immediately and call for help.

•Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.

•Do not use or store cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

•Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). Store outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area, away from any heat source or open flame and away from children’s reach.

•Turn the cooker "OFF" with the propane tank valve; use the needle valves when lighting the burners and to adjust the flame. Read all warnings on or accompanying propane tank.

•Disconnect the propane tank from the cooker when not in use. A safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve.

7.Keep hands, face and hair away from burner. Use long matches or long-nosed lighter to light the burner. Do not wear loose clothing or allow long hair to hang freely while lighting or using cooker.

8.Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pan over an open flame; the bottom of the pan could melt. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pan larger than 14 1/2" may not sit properly on burner stand and could cause hot liquids to spill or overturn cooker.

9.Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid. In some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required. If spill-over/boil-over occurs, check to make sure flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could accumulate causing a highly flammable, very dangerous situation. Allow gas to dissipate prior to relighting cooker.

10.In case of grease fire, do not use water to extinguish flame. Turn gas OFF at propane tank and use fire extinguisher approved for use with gas appliances or other appropriate means to extinguish flame.

11.Do not use this cooker on recreational vehicle or boat.

12.Do not use this cooker for other than its intended purpose.

13.Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation.

14.Properly dispose of all packaging materials.
