Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout
the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods
of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color,
the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is
not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from
grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the
burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Use only 1 pound LP cylinder with Lantern.
· Do not use gas tube with Portable Lantern and 1 pound
LP cylinder. It is unstable and will cause lantern to tip
over and cause a fire.
· Make sure there are no obstructions to the flow of
combustion and ventilation air to the Lantern.
· Always burn lantern in upright position away from any
flammable substances.
· Use lantern for lighting only. Do not touch hot surfaces.
· Hold the lantern by the cylinder when transporting. Hold
it away from you and do not run with it.
· Always light and use lantern outdoors. Never use
indoors, on recreational vehicles, or boats.
· To avoid eye damage, do not stare into the intense light.
· Never operate lantern with a hole in the mantle or
overheating and fire hazard could result.
· Never operate lantern without a globe shield or top cap.
· To avoid burns, do not place your head or body over
the lantern when manually lighting with a match.
· When lighting attempts fail, or i f the Lantern goes out
during use, turn control knob “Off” to dissipate any
accumulation of gas. Wait five minutes before repeating
lighting procedure.
