GENERAL MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Intense heat from the cooker will burn away paint from parts of the frame and windscreen flashing.
This is normal and will cause a slight 'odor' for a few minutes during the initial use. The exposed steel will rust. Occasional care must be taken to prolong the life of your cooker.
1.Store cooker in a dry place. Do not store outside exposed to weather. Storage of a gas cooker appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected. If storing cooker indoors, detach and leave LP cylinder outdoors. LP cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must NOT be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
2.Occasionally spray paint on affected areas of cooker frame after it has cooled.
3.Spray
DANGER 
Spray paint and other aerosols contain flammable PETROLEUM DISTILLATES under pressure. Flame from burner or heat from cooker may cause spray can to burst violently resulting in death, serious burns and bodily harm. Perform all touch up maintenance to a cool, dry cooker frame and burner, below 115˚F (45˚C).
4.For long term storage, cover the cast iron burners and regulator hose assembly in a plastic bag.
5.Spiders and small insects have been known to spin webs inside the burner tube. Obstructions in the burner tube interfere with the flow and mixture of air and gas through the burner. A clogged burner tube may result in a fire beneath the appliance. If this happens, remove the burner from the frame and clean the burner tube with a stiff, bent wire. Inspect and clean inside the top burner ports as well.
6.Turn air control shutter to closed position after each use to reduce chance of insect intrusion.
7.Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the burners, frames, regulator valves, or LP cylinder. Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to make repairs. For replacement parts call Barbour International, Inc. at
8.Always close LP cylinder valve first after use. Always use and store LP cylinder in an upright position. Never store or transport LP cylinders in occupied enclosures.
9.Check and tighten any loose hardware before each use.
10.Never store cooking liquids in aluminum cooking pots. Salt and seasoning will form pit holes in the bottom of the pot resulting in cooking oil leaking onto the open burner flame.
WARNING 
Discard any aluminum cooking vessel should cooking oil leak through pit holes. Leaking oil will ignite and cause a fire.
11.Inspect entire cooker including regulator hose assembly and burner assembly before each use. Replace any damaged or worn parts. Use only parts specified by Barbour International, Inc.
