Bayou Classic 700-701 manual Check for Gas Leaks, Lighting Instructions, Trouble Shooting Tips

Check for Gas Leaks

After assembly is complete, always check for gas leaks before lighting.

1.Close the regulator control valve on the hose. This shuts off the flow of gas from the regulator to the burner.

2.Open LP cylinder valve by 1/8 to 1/4 turn. This allows gas into the regulator and stops it at the closed regluator valve.

Spray ALL connections with a soapy

liquid to check for gas leaks.

Appearance of bubbles indicates a leak.

3.Using a small brush or spray bottle, splash on a soapy liquid (ex. Dishwashing liquid and water, or 50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water) on the connections around the regulator and cylinder connection. (Figure #3) Any bubbles that appear indicate a gas leak. If so, turn off the gas and tighten the fittings some more. Do Not use cooker if gas leak cannot be stopped.

Call 1-800-864-6194 (Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm, Saturday 9am - 2pm CST) for assistance.

4.After you are certain there are no leaks, turn tank valve and regulator valve to “OFF” position. Wait 5 minutes for any gas fumes to go away before lighting the burner.

Lighting Instructions

1. When you are sure there are no leaks, turn cylinder valve and	LIGHT HERE
regulator control valve on hose to the closed position.

2. Reopen cylinder valve fully.

3. Have a fireplace match or long-nosed propane lighter lit and ready to light Gas Inlet.

4.Place lighter in Gas Inlet, then slowly open regulator valve until gas ignites.

5.When lighting for the first time, you will smell paint burning for a few minutes...

This is normal.

6.When finished using the appliance, turn off gas from the cylinder valve first. It will take a few seconds for the fire to go out and for the propane gas to "bleed" from the hose and regulator

assembly. After the fire is completely out, turn regulator control valve to the "OFF" position.

7. To re-light, repeat steps 1-5. Always use CAUTION as cooker will be hot.

Trouble Shooting Tips

Problems with proper Gas Flow:	Clockwise
This Bayou Classic appliance and most propane tanks	to closed
are equipped with a safety device to shut off the flow of	position

gas should the hose be cut or severed. Sometimes this safety device may be tripped when lighting the appliance.

PRESET REGULATOR WITH SIDE VALVE

To prevent this, ALWAYS make sure the regulator valve is in the closed position before opening the valve on the LP gas tank.
