READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR SIDE BURNER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. When properly cared for, your ALFRESCO™ Side Burner will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the Side Burner produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential.
pressing the correct igniter button labeled for the burner you intend on using. • When using the Side Burner do not touch the Side Burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. • For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must mounted correctly for safe operation. • Clean the Side Burner with caution.
LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE SIDE BURNER: When determining a suitable location for your Side Burner, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply line runs as short as possible. Locate the Side Burner only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the Side Burner in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system.

Before proceeding, ensure the unit is fitted for LP gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury.
LP GAS CONNECTION TO LP TANKS: Your ALFRESCO™ Side Burner for use with LP gas comes equipped with its own regulator, which MUST NOT be removed. There is also a secondary high capacity, hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 Lb. LP cylinder. The LP gas pressure regulator and hose supplied with this unit must be used without alteration. If this assembly needs to be replaced use only the type specified by ALFRESCO™ for this appliance.
CAUTION CYLINDERS MUST BE STORED OUTDOORS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. DISCONNECTED LP CYLINDERS MUST HAVE THREADED VALVE PLUGS TIGHTLY INSTALLED, AND MUST NOT BE STORED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA. THE GAS MUST BE TURNED OFF AT THE SUPPLY CYLINDER WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE. IF THE APPLIANCE IS STORED INDOORS, THE CYLINDER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED FROM THE APPLIANCE.
• Verify that the a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) connected to the regulator points in the required direction. (see Figure # 3) • Fasten the pipe or hose connection to a 1/2” MFT elbow with the appropriate gas fittings. (see Figure # 3). If the connection of the Side Burner is done with flare fittings and a flexible hose to the existing NG gas supply, a 1/2” diameter flexible stainless steel gas hose, no more than 48” in length will be required.
BEFORE TESTING: • • • • • • • Make sure that all packing material is removed from the Side Burner. Make sure the burner tie-down straps are removed from the unit. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes. Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush. For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.
PUSH & TURN TO “HI” PUSH TO IGNITE Figure # 4 NOTE: The first burner may take longer to light while air is purged from the gas supply system. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it can be lit with a match.
ADJUSTMENT STEPS: 1. Follow lighting instructions by setting the control knob on “HI” and allow the burner to preheat for 5 minutes. 2. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the burner temperature to drop and stabilize. 3. Attempting adjustment at any setting other than LOW can create a dangerous condition. 4. Remove knob by pulling straight away from control panel. 5. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the valve stem to begin the adjustment. 6.
Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface. RUST-BROWN MARKS: When this type of staining occurs it is unlikely that rusting of the stainless steel itself caused the marks. Similar marks can be found with both porcelain and plastic sinks.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS: You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur: 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.
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.
