WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS:
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if any of the following conditions oc-
cur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The Side Burner does not reach temperature.
3. The Side Burner heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
SIDE BURNER WON’T LIGHT:
First determine if the spark igniters are functioning properly. A rapid snapping sound should be heard
when the igniter button is depressed. If no sound is heard, check the battery. If the spark igniters are
working correctly, next determine if gas is reaching the burners. Ensure the gas supply is turned on, and
that there are no leaks according to the procedure on page 10. Attempt to match-light a burner accord-
ing to the procedure on page 12.
If the burner will light with a match, then the spark igniter may not be functioning correctly. If the burner
will not match light, and the gas supply has been confirmed, then check the burner for blockages.
FLAME IS YELLOW / GAS SMELL:
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE SIDE BURNER IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL
BURNERS. Perform a leak test and check for blockages.
NOTE: If the Side Burner is operating in a dusty area or if heavy grease is present on the burner cap,
some orange tips on the burner flame should be considered normal.
BURNER BLOWS OUT:
First determine if the problem is being caused by location. Check the gas supply and flame characteris-
tics. Check to ensure that burners are correctly positioned in their bodies according to the procedure on
page 6 (assembly). Correctly installed burners should be seated firmly with no side-to-side movement.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT CLEANING AND STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
In order to maintain your Side Burner in clean working order, it will be necessary, under certain condi-
tions, to take additional precautions. If your Side Burner is located in a coastal area, it will be exposed to
salty air which is corrosive.
If it is located close to a swimming pool or Jacuzzi with chlorinated water, then it will be exposed to dilute
hydrochloric acid which can be formed as a result of chlorine compounds used in the pool causing chlo-
rine to be combined with hydrogen and water in the atmosphere.
Also, muriatic acid ( another name for hydrochloric acid) is used to maintain the correct ph balance in the
pool water. Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, and as such can promote rapid corrosion or other oxidizing
processes which can damage various materials.
Type 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion but given enough exposure to such corrosive
conditions might succumb to some degree, such that pitting or rusting may occur. Our Side Burner mate-
rials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than sea water, and they have been tested
in highly chlorinated solutions. They have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During
and after these tests, we found these materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods
of time.
However, the above mentioned corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation where-
by conditions might combine to cause some damage to occur. Therefore, we suggest that you always
keep your Side Burner clean, dry and covered when not in use. This is even more important when long
term storage is intended; always store the Side Burner clean, dry and covered with your cover.
