Owner Manual

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas cooker is designed to work with an LP gas supply cylinder.
• DO NOT attempt to connect it to any other fuel supply source such as a natural gas line.
• DO NOT use any other pressure regulator/hose assembly than the one supplied with your cooker.
• DO NOT attempt to adjust or repair the regulator. A replacement regulator can be purchased from
Barbour International, Inc. at 1-800-864-6194. The regulator is designed to operate at a maximum output
pressure of 10 psi (pounds per square inch).
• Never use your cooker without leak testing all gas connections, regulator hose assembly and weld seams
on propane tank. See the section on "Gas Leak Testing" in this manual for proper procedures.
WARNING
WARNING
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:
• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous
condition. Over-filled tanks can build up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors.
The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or flame; an explosion causing severe
burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when cooker is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has a Type-1 valve and
an over-filling prevention device (OPD).
• Use only the Regulator hose assembly that is supplied with this appliance,
Model #M5HPR. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the
cooker. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks,
the hose must be replaced prior to the cooker being put into
operation. Only use replacement regulator hose assembly #M5HPR.
Replace regulator hose assembly at least every two years.
This part can be purchased by contacting Barbour International, Inc. at 1-800-864-6194.
•
Refer to instructions for connecting regulator hose assembly to LP gas cylinder and burner in this manual.
• The control knob on regulator controls flame intensity only. It is not an ON/OFF valve.
M5HPR
Your cooker is equipped with a Type-1 connection device
with the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder
until a positive connection to the cylinder valve has been made.
NOTE: The cylinder valve must be turned off (clockwise)
before any connection is made or removed.
2. A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
NOTE: the flow limiting device is a safety feature that can be activated
when attempting to light cooker. If this occurs, refer to Trouble Shooting on pages 19 - 20 for proper remedy.
3. After cooking is finished and cylinder valve is turned off; turn the Regulator Control Knob counter-clockwise to the
OFF position. This will reduce possibility of activating the Gas Flow Limiting Device the next time you light the cooker.
