Problems with lighting the fryer:
1. LP Hose Regulator assemblies and propane tanks are equipped with a safety device to reduce 90% of
gas flow should the hose be cut or severed. Sometimes this safety device may be activated when lighting
the fryer. To prevent this, ALWAYS make sure the regulator valve is in the closed position (see illustration
below) before opening the valve on the LP Cylinder. Then SLOWLY open regulator valve to light.

STORAGE OF FRYER
1. Store fryer in a dry place. Do not store outside exposed to weather. Storage of a gas appliance indoors
is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected. If storing fryer indoors, detach and leave LP cylinder
outdoors. LP cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must NOT be stored
in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
2. For long term storage, cover the burner in-take and exhaust vent with a plastic bag to prevent wasps,
spiders and dirt dobbers from building nests inside the heat tubes.
3. The heat tube can be cleaned by disconnecting both exhaust vent and burner in-take and using a
garden hose, spraying water through the system.
4. Inspect entire appliance including regulator hose assembly before each use. Replace any damaged
or worn parts. Use only parts specified by Barbour International, Inc.
WARNING
A clogged heat tube can result in flames exiting the exhaust or a back-flash at the burner intake.
Inspect heat tube prior to each use.
