Do not store unconnected LP cylinders in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY!

Additional Safety Practices & Precautions
Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher readily accessible. Never attempt to
extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.
Keep electrical supply cords and fuel supply hoses away from heated
surfaces.
Do not heat unopened food containers as they may explode.
Never store additional or empty fuel cylinders in the side burner cabinet or
near the side burner. Do not store cylinders indoors or on their sides. Never
use dented, rusty or damaged cylinders.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover cooking grates. This will alter
combustion airflow and trap excessive heat in the control area leading to
damaged knobs or igniter modules.
After the Power Maxx burner is installed by a professional technician be
sure they show you where your gas supply shut-off valve is located. All gas
lines must have a shut-off that is easily accessible. If you ever smell gas,
check for leaks IMMEDIATELY. Never check for gas leaks with an open
flame.
Never operate burner in a windy area. If windy conditions exist, install a
suitable windbreak.
Damage caused by leaving operating burner unattended is not covered under
the terms and conditions of the Vintage Warranty. Never leave open flame
unattended.
Never use burner without drip pan in place. Make sure drip pan is properly
and fully inserted. Failure to do so may allow hot grease or boil-overs to
become a fire or explosion hazard.
Do not repair or replace any part of the Power Maxx burner unless
specifically recommended by this manual. A qualified technician should
perform all other necessary service.

Safety Practices & Precautions continued:
Gas Power Maxx burner are not designed/certified for and are therefore not
to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any
other mobile vehicle.
Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a Power
Maxx burner is located. Install your side burner well away from areas where
children play. Do not store items that may draw the interest of children in or
around the side burner, island or masonry enclosure. When in use and
immediately after, areas of the Power Maxx burner are hot enough to
cause severe burns!
Avoid wearing loose-fitting, long sleeves or flammable garments when
using the side burner. Never touch cooking grates, Power Maxx burner top
or surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become
extremely hot during use and could cause severe burns. Use an insulated
glove or mitt when attempting to handle parts of the Power Maxx burner.
Never lean over or look directly over the cooking surface when attempting
to light.
The Power Maxx burner cover must be completely removed before lighting
and during operation.
Do not replace Power Maxx burner cover until the cooking surface has
cooled down.
Never connect any unregulated gas supply to the side burner. Supplied
regulator must be used in order to validate Warranty.

Burners
To light:
Remove Power Maxx burner cover.
Turn on gas supply to the Power Maxx burner.
Turn burner knob to “High” then push and hold the ignition button for 5
seconds. You should hear a rhythmic “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn
all knobs to “Off”, check ignition battery and ensure the burner base and
burner cap are properly positioned.
If burner does not light after 5 seconds, turn knobs to off and wait 5 minutes
before retrying. This will prevent any flare-ups over cooking surface, which
can result in injury.
Match lighting:
If ignition fails to light burners after several attempts or if the igniter battery
dies and you do not have a ready replacement, burners may be carefully
match-lit.
If match-lighting after a failed ignition attempt, wait 5 minutes before
attempting to light with a match.
Make sure knobs are in “Off” position. Light a long-stemmed match and
place over the burner. Keeping your face away from cooking surface, push
and turn control knob to “High”. If burner does not light in 5 seconds turn
knob to “Off” and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Always wait 5 minutes before re-lighting a hot burner!
Note:
Improper lighting procedures can cause the flow control to activate, resulting
in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, shut off all burner controls and
cylinder valve. Wait 30 seconds, then very slowly re-open cylinder valve.
Wait an additional 5 seconds before turning burner control knob and
attempting to light.
