TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If burner does not light or stay lit:
a. Check connectors to ensure both pins are clean and free of erosion. Clean pins if any visible corrosion or
contamination is seen. Check connectors to ensure pins are in proper placement.
b. Check that thermocouple nut is screwed snugly into bottom of thermoelectric valve. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.
c. Check that the thermocouple tip is not damaged. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.
d. Check wires for damage.
e. Check that wind is not blowing the flame out. If wind blows the flame out the gas shut-off system will stop gas flow.
2. What is the problem if the cooker takes too long or will not heat oil or cooking ingredients to desired
temperature? My cooker’s flame appearance is very weak.
Answer: If the hose assembly has a Type 1 Connection (black/green knob), it is equipped with a flow limiting device.
This device is intended to limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance. To
achieve a positive gas seal, which will allow for maximum gas flow, the regulator control must be set to a completely
OFF position before the cylinder valve is opened. A good tip to remember is “TANK IS FIRST ON, LAST OFF.”
The Problem Can Be Remedied in Two Ways:
A. 1. Turn the regulator control to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by turning it clockwise until
it stops.
2. Check that the Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) is completely tightened to the tank valve.
3. Wait 5 seconds for the pressure to equalize and for the flow limiting device to reset.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn the regulator control to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for proper flame
characteristics.

B. 1. Turn the regulator control to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by turning it clockwise until
it stops.
2. Remove Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) from the tank valve. The flow limiting device will now reset.
3. Re-attach Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) to the tank valve. Tighten completely.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn the regulator control to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for proper flame
characteristics.
3. How long will the propane in my tank last?
Answer: On average, a full tank will give you 4 to 5 hours of normal cooking.
4. I have a new style tank and it won’t connect to my regulator. What do I do?
Answer: Our regulators will connect to any propane tank that does not have a quick disconnect. The new tanks have
two sets of connection threads. The first is an outside threading that is easily visible and connects to a BBQ pit. The
second is an inside threading that is not so visible and connects to our cookers. Look for the threading on the inside
to the left. If the tank has a quick disconnect our regulator will not work and you must use a different tank.
5. I have a brand new cooker and I cannot get the burner to light. What’s the problem?
Answer: Make sure the tank has the been filled with propane. Tanks purchased from the store shelf are most often
sold empty. If this does not solve the problem refer to Maintenance Instruction items #3 and #4, pages 18-19. If you
have questions please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885.
