B. THE GAS SYSTEM
1. GAS AND REGULATOR INFORMATION
This cooker is designed for propane (LPG) gas use only. Gas bottles with a "POL"
connection are to be used with this Crab Cooker Set. Suitable regulators must have an
outlet pressure of 69 kPa. You must have the proper regulator and bottle in order for the
Crab Cooker Set to operate safely and efciently. Ensure that a 100% propane (LPG)
rellable gas cylinder currently certied to Australian Standard AS2030.1:2009 is used. Do
not use disposable gas cylinders. Please note the hose and regulator supplied with this unit
are of an approved type and are specically designed for use with your Crab Cooker Set.
It may be hazardous to attempt to t other types of Gas containers.
2. CONNECTING THE HOSE AND REGULATOR TO THE GAS BOTTLE
—Only use the hose assembly (3) supplied with this appliance for direct connection to the
cylinder – DO NOT USE ADAPTORS. Do not use any other hose assembly. Check the
gas hose for damage or signs of abrasion before each use.
—Keep the hose clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces.
— Avoid twisting or kinking the exible hose.
—If damaged, do not use the hose and replace it immediately. If there is any doubt, contact
the customer service line on 1300 799 787.
—Make sure all Crab Cooker Set control knobs are in the off position. Connect the
regulator to the gas cylinder by inserting the regulator connection into the gas bottle
outlet. This is tightened in an anti clockwise motion.
—Firmly hand tighten and then be sure to check for leaks at all gas connections.
—Please note that the hose is already fitted with a valve that connects to the burner.
You do not have to adjust this connection but should leak test this once the hose and
regulator are connected to the gas cylinder.

3. LEAK TESTING
Open the gas control valve on the cylinder. Check for leaks by brushing a solution 1/2 water
and 1/2 soap over all gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose connections
and regulator connections. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If
bubbles form over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and re-tighten all
joints. If bubbles form again, do not use the Crab Cooker Set. Please contact the customer
service line on 1300 799 787. Check for leaks annually or whenever the hose and regulator
are disconnected from the gas cylinder.
C. INSTALLATION
1. CHOOSING A LOCATION
This Crab Cooker Set is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-ventilated
area. Take care to ensure that the Minimum clearances: From sides: 1000mm, From back:
1000mm, From above (vertical): 1000mm.
Keep this Crab Cooker away from any ammable materials!
2. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the Crab Cooker body. Also, position the
gas supply cylinder on level ground next to the Crab Cooker Set and safely away from any
source of heat. Should you need to change the gas cylinder, conrm that the cylinder is off,
and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open ame, sparks, etc.) near before
proceeding. Be sure to inspect the gas hose and ensure it is free of any twisting or tension.
The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks, which could obstruct the free
ow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot
parts. Inspect the hose before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose
from the manufacturer. The length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not
be adhered to severe are up may be experienced due to a lack of airow around the Crab
Cooker Set, thus voiding manufacture’s warranty.
FOR STORAGE AND CYLINDER EXCHANGE,
DISCONNECT THE CYLINDER ONLY.

E. LIGHTING THE BURNER
—Insure that the regulator control valve is in the off position.
—Slowly rotate the gas cylinder valve anti-clockwise to the on position.
— Using a long BBQ match or gas lighter for safety, insert a ame underneath the wind
shield to the burner.
—Slowly rotate the regulator control valve to the on position until the burner ignites. If it
takes more than ve seconds for the burner to ignite, rotate the regulator control valve to
the off position, then the cylinder valve to the off position and repeat the lighting process.
IN THE EVENT THAT THE BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT AFTER 3
ATTEMPTS, DO NOT RELIGHT THE BURNER FOR FIVE MINUTES.
THIS ALLOWS THE REMAINING FUMES TO CLEAR.
— As soon as the ame is lit, the regulator control can adjust the heat setting of the
burner. To increase the heat output the regulator control valve is turned in a clockwise
direction marked with the “on” arrow and to reduce the heat output the regulator control is
turned in an anti-clockwise direction marked with the “off” arrow.
TURNING THE BURNER OFF
—If the burner is no longer to be used and to reduce the risk of the gas jet getting
blocked, it is best to expel all gas from the hose assembly.
—With the burner still lit, turn the valve on the gas cylinder in a clockwise direction to the
off position. Allow the ame to extinguish and then turn the regulator control valve to the off
position.
EMPTY GAS CYLINDER
—If the Gas cylinder is empty, the burner will not light.
— If the burner does not light, rstly check the gas cylinder and replace with a full cylinder.
— If after this the burner lights you can assume that your problem was an empty gas
cylinder.

1. CARE OF BURNERS
Ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the
primary air inlet, or the neck of the burner. Use compressed air or a pipe cleaner wire to clear
obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces.
