Usage Features:
The Bene Casa burner is designed for straightforward and safe outdoor cooking.
- Setup: Place the burner on a level and stable non-combustible surface (like bricks, concrete, or dirt). Ensure the area is clear of any overhead construction and combustible materials, maintaining a minimum clearance of 10 feet from sides, front, and back.
- Propane Connection: Connect the appliance to a 20lb propane tank using the supplied regulator and hose. Always ensure the propane tank valve and regulator valve are in the OFF position before connecting.
- Leak Test: Before each use, a leak test is mandatory. Create a 50/50 mixture of water and liquid dishwashing soap. With the cylinder valve turned ON (slowly, one turn counter-clockwise) and the regulator valve OFF, apply the soapy solution to all connections (cylinder valve to cylinder, connection nut to cylinder valve, back side of connection nut to brass nipple, brass valve next to regulator, regulator connection to gas supply hose, propane cylinder welds). Then, turn the regulator valve ON and apply the solution to the full length of the gas supply hose and its connection to the burner. The appearance of growing bubbles indicates a leak, and the appliance must not be used until the leak is stopped and repaired by a qualified service.
- Lighting: Ensure air dampers are movable and control knobs are in the OFF position. Slowly open the propane tank valve. Press the burner knob and turn it to the ON position. Use the auto-ignition or a match/lighter to ignite the fire when a click is heard.
- Flame Adjustment: Slowly adjust the air dampers (A & B) until the burner produces a blue flame. Some yellow tipping of the flame is normal. The adjustable flame control allows for precise heat management.
- Safety Precautions:
- Never operate the appliance unattended.
- Keep children and pets away from the burner.
- Do not use in enclosed areas, recreational vehicles, or boats.
- Never use as a heater.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids near the appliance.
- Always turn off the control knob and propane tank valve when not in use or before moving.
- Never store a spare propane tank under or near the appliance or in enclosed areas.
- Propane tanks must be equipped with a Type 1 outlet, safety relief valve, and an Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
- If gas is smelled, immediately evacuate the area and contact authorities.
- Discontinue use if any signs of damage or wear are present.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the appliance.
- Cool Down: Allow burners and the steel cooking grate to cool completely before cleaning.
- Disconnection: Turn the propane tank valve to the OFF position. Remove the propane hose from both the tank and the stove.
- Cleaning: The stove can be wiped down with soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh household cleaning agents as they can damage gas train components.
- Drying: Allow the stove to dry thoroughly before storage.
- Storage: Store the stove and hose in a clean, dry place, ideally in a nylon storage bag to keep it clean. Do not store the stove with the propane hose attached. The propane cylinder should be disconnected and stored separately, never in enclosed spaces or inside a vehicle where it can overheat.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for abrasion, wear, cuts, or leaks. Replace if any damage is found. Inspect and test folding tables (if applicable) to ensure they are locked and secure before putting weight on them.
The Bene Casa Cast Iron Burner with Regulator is designed to provide a reliable and powerful outdoor cooking experience, with a strong emphasis on user safety through detailed instructions and mandatory leak testing.
