other gas cylinder. Never operate this appliance within 25 feet (7.5m) of any flammable liquids or
vapors.
2. There must be no combustibles or roof overhead.
3. Keep 24” (.61m) of space between the LP gas cylinder and the appliance.
4. The LP gas cylinder and appliance must be located so that any wind is blowing the heat of the appliance away
from the propane cylinder. This also helps fire prevention by blowing the flames of a grease fire away from the
propane cylinder.

threaded into the venturi tube as per the hose connection instructions on pg. 12. Both situations must be
corrected if necessary before lighting to prevent flashback.
leAK test
Before lighting the appliance, a thorough leak test must be satisfactorily completed using
a non-ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). This is to be
applied with a small brush to all gas joints after the cylinder valve is opened (no more than
1/2 turn). If bubbles are seen, indicating a leak, turn off the cylinder and tighten the leaking
connection until a further leak test shows no leaks.
If tightening the connection does not stop the leak, call Metal Fusion, Inc. (800) 783-3885,
for assistance.
