clockwise for one full rotation.
3. Using long-handled matches o r a lighter, light the burner
through the ignition hole while slowly opening the regu l ator.
4. If the burner does not ig nite, close the regulator and allow
residual gas to dispers e before making a second attempt.
Note: Locate the gas cylinder away from the burner to ensure it is
not subjected to radiant heat.
ADJUSTING HEAT OUTPUT
1. To increase heat output, turn the regulator counter-clockwise.
Clockwise rotation will decrease heat output.
2. Use the regulator a nd air damper to fine-tune heat output once
the burner has ignited.
TURNING THE BURNER OFF
With the flame still operating, turn the valve on the gas cylinder
“OFF”. Allow the flame to burn down until all remaining gas in the
hose has been used. Turn the gas controls on the regulator “OFF”

to wipe down all surfaces.
NOTE: Do not allow water in burner outlets. Do not submerge the
burner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach.
MAINTENANCE
– Periodically check for leaks using the soapy water method. If any
signs of weakness are detected on the hose or regulator, replace
immediately.

or has a distinct smell, take the burner to your local appliance-
repair shop immediately for inspection.
