1. What is the problem if the cooker takes too long or will not heat oil or cooking ingredients to desired
temperature? my cooker’s flame appearance is very weak.
Answer: If the hose assembly has a Type 1 Connection (black/green knob), it is equipped with a flow limiting device.
This device is intended to limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance. To
achieve a positive gas seal, which will allow for maximum gas flow, the regulator control must be set to a completely
OFF position before the cylinder valve is opened. A good tip to remember is “TANK IS FIRST ON, LAST OFF.”
The Problem Can Be Remedied by completing the following steps:
1. Turn the regulator control to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by turning it
clockwise until it stops.
2. Remove Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) from the tank valve. The flow limiting device
will now reset.
3. Re-attach Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) to the tank valve. Tighten completely.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise).
5. Turn the regulator control to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for proper
flame characteristics.
2. What is the problem if the cooker shuts off before the planned cooking time is finished?
Answer: Your cooker has been equipped with a battery operated timer located on the hose/regulator. This timer
and the supplied thermometer are not a substitute for attending a cooker. The timer is not a replacement for proper
monitoring and will not measure or control the temperature of the cooking liquid within the pot. If the timer completes
a 15 minute cycle without being reset, the gas flow will be turned off and the flame extinguished. Re-light according
to the directions in this manual. The timer can be reset manually throughout the cooking process without shutting
off the gas flow by pressing the red “START” button. Pushing the “START” button at any point when the timer is
powered on will give you 15 minutes of operation. NEVER reset the timer without first reading the thermometer
temperature.If the timer does not work or stops before a 15 minute operational cycle is finished, replace the batteries
according to the “battery Installation” instructions. Complete “lighting and operating Instructions” are shown on
pages 16-17 of the Use and Care Manual.
3. How long will the propane in my tank last?
Answer: On average, a full tank will give you 4 to 5 hours of normal cooking.
4. I have a new style tank and it won’t connect to my regulator. What do I do?
Answer: The regulator supplied with this appliance has a Type 1 Connection which will attach to the tank valve which
has large threads on the valve outlet. These connect into the large plastic handnut (black or green). This tank will
also connect to earlier models of Metal Fusion cooker regulators which had a brass plug connector with left hand
threads, which will connect to the internal threads of the Type 1 tank valve (with a wrench). If your tank has a quick
disconnect valve (plug in type) our regulators can not connect to this tank.
5. I have a brand new cooker and I cannot get the burner to light. What’s the problem?
Answer: Make sure the tank has been filled with propane. Tanks purchased from the store shelf are most often sold
empty. If this does not solve the problem refer to Maintenance Instruction items #3 and #4, page 18. If you have
questions please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885.
