MAINTENANCE OF OUTDOOR COOKERS AND ACCESSORIES

1. The area where the cooker will be used must be kept clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Before each use of the cooker inspect and remove any
combustible items.
2. The flow of combustion and ventilation of air must not be obstructed. The cooker must be set in an open
area with 10 ft. (3.05m) of space on all sides and no roof or overhang overhead. Check the location and
placement of the cooker before each use.
3. Before each use of the appliance check the burner/venturi tube for insects, insect nests, and other
obstructions. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
4. Follow all Lighting Instructions in the Use and Care Manual each time the cooker is used. Check the flame
for proper color and appearance. The flame should burn with a primarily blue color. If a strong yellow
flame is present, this could indicate an obstruction in the burner/venturi tube.
If there is any obstruction or a yellow flame, and the air shutter adjustment has not solved the problem,
turn off the cooker and allow time for it to cool. Detach thermocouple nut from the bottom of the
thermoelectric valve. Detach thermoelectric valve from the venturi tube of the burner using an adjustable
wrench. Remove the air shutter using a phillips head screwdriver. Check the venturi tube with a flashlight
to see if there is a blockage. If a blockage is present use a wire such as a coat hanger to slide into the
venturi tube to remove the blockage. Reattach the air shutter to the venturi tube using the phillips head
screwdriver. Reattach thermoelectric valve to casting using an adjustable wrench. Reattach thermocouple
nut to the bottom of the thermoelectric valve. Light the cooker per the instructions in this manual. If this
does not resolve the problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885.
5. Always use the gas shut-off system supplied with the appliance. Before each use of the appliance
check the LP hose for evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks. If there is any damage to the hose,
the hose/regulator assembly must be replaced prior to using the appliance. Contact Metal Fusion, Inc.
at (800) 783-3885 for information regarding a replacement hose assembly. Only the LP hose/regulator
assembly specified by Metal Fusion, Inc. as part of the burner/gas train assembly should be used with
the appliance. Visually inspect all components of the burner/gas train assembly (see Figure 1, page 10)
and the pot's wire assembly for any visible damage. Check the connectors for debris or contamination
prior to reattachment.
6. For purchase of any replacement parts which may have become damaged or lost, please contact Metal
Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm (CST) Monday through Friday.
7. Avoid abuse to the product in transport and storage. Do not pull on wires or handle pot with wires. Do
not hit or pull on valve or thermocouple. Do not sit anything on valve or thermocouple. Avoid dropping
stand or pot. Do not pull unit using regulator/hose. Secure regulator to stand using wire hook when not
in use.
8. Cleaning of the appliance:
Cooker Stand and Burner/Gas Train Assembly: If neccessary, remove any oil or liquid which has
spilled onto the unit during cooking with mild soapy water on a rag and towel dry. Do not
immerse the burner/gas train assembly components into water as this will cause rust. Do not clean
stand or components with chemical cleaner. Do not attempt to remove or disassemble gas shut-off
components from unit.
Thermometer: Clean after each use with mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not submerge in liquid or
put in dishwasher.
Pots: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 20.
