Burner cabinet or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance
• Close supervision is necessary when this or any appliance is used near children. Keep children away from the Side
Burner during operation and until the Side Burner has cooled off
• Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a Side Burner is located. Place your Side Burner
well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or around the Side Burner,
in the cart, or in the masonry enclosure
• Never move the Side Burner when hot. When in use, portions of the Side Burner are hot enough to cause severe
burns.
• Always maintain the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The Side Burner is designed for outdoor use
only. Never use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway, or other enclosed area. Do not use this Side Burner under
any unprotected overhead combustible construction
• Gas Side Burners are not designed or certied for and are not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable
trailers, boats or any other moving installation
• Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible — never attempt to extinguish a grease re with water or other
liquids
• Storing your Side Burner: Store your Side Burner in a well-ventilated area. If stored indoors, detach and leave L.P.
cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it
• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords should be
placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard
• Do not repair or replace any part of the Side Burner unless specically recommended in this manual. Other service
should be performed by a qualied technician
• If the Side Burner is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he/she shows you where your gas
supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas,
check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an open
ame
• Do not twist the gas supply hose
• Inspect the L.P. gas supply hose prior to each use of the Side Burner. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or

CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGED:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/
carton, be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight
or express receipt and signed by the person making the
delivery. File claim for damages immediately, regardless of
the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the Side Burner is un-
packed, notify the transportation company or carrier
immediately and le a concealed damage claim with them.
This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be
sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot
assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
Using your Side Burner in windy conditions may disrupt
the front-to-back air ow that the Side Burner is designed
for. If wind pushes the heat into the control panel, then the
control panel and knobs could become extremely hot. Your
Side Burner pulls air in through its front and vents hot gas-
es up through the grate. If the control panel or knobs are
hot to the touch, turn the Side Burner off.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines
lose pressure over distance and with each elbow or “T”
tting added. This drop in pressure affects Side Burner
performance.
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS
CRITICAL. A SIDE BURNER THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL
WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION AND
INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE SIDE BURNER
SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS. ADJUST-
MENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME WHEN
MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction
zones. Construction debris such as (but not limited to)
stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could damage or
permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all
caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning
products away from stainless steel at all times.

LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Ventilation is recommended in the enclosure on opposite
sides to create cross-ventilation. Liquid propane is heavi-
er than natural gas and vents should be located near the
bottom of the enclosure.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Create a soapy water solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts
water. Conrm that all control knobs are in the off position.
Turn on the fuel supply.
For Natural Gas, turn the valve handle ¼ turn to align with
the gas ow. For LP, turn the cylinder valve counter
clockwise one full rotation. Apply the soap solution
generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on all connections
and ttings. If bubble appear to grow on any of the

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS
SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. To shut off the unit, depress each valve control knob
and while pressing turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.
2. Always close the valve from the gas supply after each
use of the unit.
NOTE:
When using a portable Propane tank: Propane tanks are

and lighting instructions are not followed exactly.
ADJUSTING YOUR BURNER TO A LOWER SETTING
• Make sure the Side Burner is cool.
• Remove the grate so you can see the ames while
adjusting the burners.
• Light the burner.
• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• Use a at head screw driver and adjust the “gold
athead screw” in the valve to the proper ame height.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic
considerations and to preserve corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by a thin layer of
chromium oxide. Oxygen from the atmosphere combines
with the chromium in the stainless steel to form this passive
chromium oxide lm that protects from further corrosion.
SIDE BURNER EXTERIOR
Routinely wipe down your Side Burner exterior with warm
water and nish by applying stainless steel polish.
SIDE BURNER INTERIOR
• Burn off excess food debris and marinades for 15
minutes after cooking.
• Use an approved stainless-steel oven cleaner to
remove grease build up.
• Routinely have a professional barbecue cleaning
company detail the Side Burner for best results and
longevity.
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
After each use wipe down the exterior of the Side Burner to
remove grease and splatters. Use a commercially available
stainless-steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior sur-
faces. Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the
amount of effort required
When removing stubborn stains:
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the
direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using
on the Side Burner.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution rst, scrub-
bing in the direction of the grain.
• Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the
stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the
appearance of rust.
• To remove these baked-on foods use a ne to medium
grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
• Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can
be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel
• Be sure your TrueFlame products are well protected
before using these products.
POWER FRONT PANEL LED
To power the external LED lights, insert the trans wire (two
prong connection) into the transformer. Plug the transform-
er into an electrical outlet rated for the transformer.
Any contamination of the surface by dirt, or other
material, hinders this passivation process and traps
corrosive agents reducing corrosion protection. Thus,
routine cleaning is necessary to preserve the
appearance and integrity of the surface.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR LOCATIONS NEAR COASTAL AREAS AND POOLS:
#304 stainless steel materials used in the construction of your TrueFlame Side Burner are highly rust
resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface
rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product. Here are a few tips to avoid this if
instructions are not followed exactly.
• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth (micro ber towels work well).
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp Side Burner.
• In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the
Side Burner.
• For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the Side Burner is dry, then cover
and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS
After your rst use, certain areas of the Side Burner may discolor from the intense heat given off by the
burners; this is normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains there are many differ-
ent stainless; steel cleaners available.
