2. Safety Nomenclature
2.1 General
Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main
concerns in designing and developing a new product.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety
features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a
few seconds of thought and a more careful approach
to handling the appliance.
Most accidents are caused by failure to observe basic
safety rules or precautions. An accident can often
be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. As you assemble,
use, or maintain the appliance, you must be alert to
potential hazards. You should also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or
maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this appliance
could result in a dangerous situation that could cause
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not assemble, operate, or maintain the
appliance until you read and understand the
information contained in this Owner’s Guide.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided
in this Owner’s Guide and on the appliance. If
these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily
injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
Carolina Cooker® cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
The warnings in this Owner’s Guide and on the
appliance are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If a method
of assembly, use, or maintenance not specically
recommended by us is used, you must satisfy yourself
that it is safe for you and for others. You should also
ensure that the appliance will not be damaged or be
made unsafe by the methods that you choose.

equipment, personal injury, or death. The following key
words call the readers’ attention to potential hazards.
Hazards are identied by the “Safety Alert Symbol”

6.2 Maintenance Guidelines
1. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal
holes, and other signs of signicant corrosion or
rust damage.
a. The burner is constructed of cast iron and
steel and may rust as a result of the extreme
heat and splatter from acidic foods.
b. Wire brush the outer surface of the burner to
remove buildup of food particles, dirt, or other
cooking residue.
c. Outward surface rust does not aect the use
of the appliance.
d. Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the
burners. Replace damaged burners with new
OEM parts.
e. Unauthorized modications will void the
warranty.
2. If the burner is hard to light or does not appear
to be working correctly, check for an internal
obstruction or replace the burner assembly.
WARNING Obstruction of combustion and
ventilation airow can prevent
proper gas mixture inside the burner, resulting in a
burner tube re.
3. Inspect the inside of the burner tube for blockage
caused by insects or other small animals and/
or outdoor debris, such as leaves, grass, etc. To
remove any blockage:
a. Turn LP cylinder gas valve and regulator
control knob OFF.
b. Use a narrow bottle brush or a sti wire to
remove any blockage.
4. Check the ame port openings in the burner
to make sure there is no blockage from food or
other debris.
CAUTION To prevent potential eye injury,
wear safety glasses when cleaning
the burner.
5. Regularly inspect the gas pressure regulator hose
and valve.
a. Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the
regulator, valve, or hoses.
b. Replace damaged parts with new OEM parts.
c. Unauthorized modications will void the
warranty.

assembly.
a. Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the
tank or valve assembly.
b. Replace or exchange damaged tanks.
c. Allow only qualied propane gas service

c. Perform all touch-up maintenance to a cool,
dry base, at ambient weather temperature.
WARNING Do not use aerosol spray paint or
other similar aerosols which contain
