• Always preheat pan to desired temperature before use.
• Use long handled tongs and spatulas, do not use plastic utensils.
• Check the tubes that lead to the burner for any blockage from insects or food
grease before each use.
• Check hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes and leaks. Make sure there are no
sharp bends in the hose when storing.
• Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease.
• Check for gas leaks following instructions on page 16.
• Keep lighted cigarettes, matches, or open flames away from a leaking grill.
• When not in use, cover burner with aluminum foil to prevent insects or foreign ob-
jects from entering burner.
• Do not lean on or over the cooking pan when in use.
• Ensure the cylinder valve is closed prior to connecting the LPG container to your
cooker or adapter hose.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE HOSE, VALVE, REGULATOR, TANK
VALVE OR APPLIANCE YOURSELF! Contact REC TEC GRILLS for replace-
ment parts.
• Use extreme caution when connecting or disconnecting LPG containers.
• Never use a damaged cylinder or LPG tank or one that has been in a fire
• Remember, empty propane tanks are equally as dangerous as full tanks and the
same safety precautions must be followed.
• Never attempt to disassemble or puncture a propane tank, which could result in an
explosion and flash fire.
• Keep good cooking notes, this helps with consistency.
• Always allow your meat to rest before serving.
• Keep your cooking area clean.
• Use the REC TEC Grills Bullpen Instant Read Thermometer to determine meat
doneness. Never rely on time.
• Know your food's internal temperature.
• Remember, you cant tell whether meat is safely cooked while looking at it. Any
cooked, uncured red meats - including pork - can be pink, even when the meat has
reached a safe internal temperature.
• After you remove the meat from your Matador, allow it to rest for a specified
amount of time. During the rest time, its temperature remains constant or contin-
ues to rise, which kills harmful bacteria.
• Refer to USDA food safety chart and a food thermometer to ensure that meat, poul-
try, seafood, and other cooked foods reach a safe minimum internal temperature.
