GAS LEAK TEST
When to test for gas leaks:
• After assembling your cooker and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, or if any of the gas components are replaced.
• Any time your cooker has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your cooker has not been used for more than 60 days.
NOTE: The gas leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing. DO NOT use a flashlight to check for bubbles.
5. First, inspect areas A - E for growing bubbles.
6. Next, turn on (open) the Adjustable Regulator Knob and permit
gas to pass through the hose. Inspect areas F and G.
NOTE: Do not allow gas to flow more than 5 - 10 seconds. During
this step, gas will be flowing out the burner into the surrounding air.
7. Turn the LP Cylinder Valve to the off (closed) position. Then turn
the Adjustable Regulator Knob to the off (closed) position.
8. Tighten any leaking connections.
9. Repeat soap water mixture test until no leaks are detected.
10. After you are certain there are no leaks, turn the LP Cylinder
Valve to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes for any gas fumes
to evacuate before lighting the burner.
• If growing soap bubbles persist throughout any portion
of the Gas Leak Test, terminate use immediately.
• DO NOT use cooker if gas leaks cannot be stopped.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions for safe and proper lighting and re-lighting of the appliance.
Lighting the appliance:
1. Before lighting, completely turn off (close) the LP Cylinder Valve and the Brass Valve to prevent any gas flow.
NOTE: If the Brass Valve is left in any other position, the Gas Flow Limiting Device will activate.
2. Turn on (open) the fuel supply by S-L-O-W-L-Y rotating the LP Cylinder Valve one full turn.
3. Position a fireplace match or long lighter over the Jet Burner Tube, then slowly turn on (open) the regulator to
allow gas to flow. The burner should light in less than 5 seconds.

Tubes
• The Regulator supplied with this appliance is equipped with a Gas Flow Limiting Device
that will greatly restrict the flow of gas if activated by a rapid release of gas. Reference
Trouble-Shooting Tips if flame ever appears weak.
• If the appliance does not light after 2 or 3 attempts, turn OFF gas supply. Refer to Trouble
Shooting Tips and DO NOT attempt to operate the appliance until the problem is resolved.
CAUTION
Even if the flame is extinguished, the tank and regulator will still allow some gas to release
until they are fully CLOSED. You must allow gas to evacuate/dissipate before re-lighting.
WARNING
4. After lighting the burner, fully open the LP Cylinder Valve, and control the jet flame by adjusting the Brass Valve.
5. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, completely turn off (close) the LP Cylinder Valve and the Brass Valve,
wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
Re-Lighting the appliance:
If the appliance is accidentally extinguished, completely turn off (close) the LP Cylinder Valve and the Brass Valve,
wait 5 minutes to allow gas to evacuate/dissipate, and repeat Steps 1 thru 4 of the Lighting Instructions.

1. Before each use of the appliance, light the cooker and let it run for 5 - 7 minutes. This initial fire will burn away the
manufacturing oil and residue. It is normal to have smoke or slight odor.
2. If you ever experience a spill over while cooking, make sure you clean off the cooker before storing. Wait until
the cooker is completely cool, and simply rinse off any spill-over. NOTE: The next time you use the cooker, it
may burn off residue from the previous spill-over, causing an odor and/or smoke.
3. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
4. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
5. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
6. Always check for any obstructions such as insects or insect nests in and around the burner.
To remove obstructions:
A. Use a narrow bottle brush or stiff wire to run up and down the length
of the gas inlet tube.
B. Confirm nothing is blocking a jet orifice or burner tube.
C. If necessary, use a water hose or compressed air to flush out any debris.
Follow these simple steps to keep your appliance looking good and functioning properly for years.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
10
Wear eye protection when
flushing out the burner.
CAUTION
7. Always turn off (close) the gas supply and disconnect the hose and regulator
from the LP cylinder to move or store.
8. To avoid damage to the regulator and minimize trip hazards, place regulator
on the appliance frame any time the hose is not connected to the LP Cylinder.
9. Store appliance in a dry place. If storing indoors (including a shed or
garage), detach the LP cylinder and store the tank outside. For long term
storage, cover the burner and the HVR with a plastic bag.
10. Do not store this appliance, or any of its components, in a corrosive
environment. A corrosive environment can be a highly damp area, or a
saltwater/marine environment.
• Never spray anything on a hot cooker frame:
A. Spraying water will give off steam that can cause burns.
B. Spray paint and other petroleum distillates can burst into flame.
• Check and clean the burner with every use. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
appliance.
• NEVER disassemble the cast iron banjo burner. If it cannot be cleaned or appears
damaged in any way, immediately contact Barbour International, Inc. for a replacement.
