Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Kuuma Products Built-In Barbecue, model #83800, is a propane-fueled unit with a 13,500 BTU output. It is designed for safety and efficiency, with a strong emphasis on following the manual for proper installation and operation. Unauthorized modifications are discouraged, and any issues should be addressed through the recommended maintenance procedures.

Safety and Installation
The barbecue requires a cutout size of 25" width, 14" depth, and 10" height. It does not come with a regulator, so low-pressure gas must be supplied. Proper installation is crucial to prevent fire and explosion risks. All valves should be closed when the barbecue is not in use or in emergencies. The propane system should include a high-quality regulator set at 12” water column, and the cylinder should be mounted upright in a vented housing.

Propane (LPG) Fuel System
Key components of the fuel system include the tank shut-off valve, solenoid valve, pressure gauge, regulator, and the barbecue itself. The system should be installed to prevent kinks and ensure accessibility for inspection. Fuel lines must be purged of air before initial use.

Operation
To light the barbecue, open both lids, turn the valve on at the tank, and use the piezo ignitor. If the burner does not light, wait for the propane to dissipate before retrying. Do not close the control or burner lid while the barbecue is hot.

Gas Leak Procedure
If a gas leak is suspected, extinguish all flames, turn off the barbecue, and shut off the gas supply. Use a detergent and water mixture to check for leaks at connections.

Care and Maintenance
Stainless steel components may bronze with heat but can be restored with metal polish. Clean the barbecue with a liquid oven cleaner and avoid using steel pads that can contaminate the material. If lighting issues occur, check and clean the burner holes and orifice.

Troubleshooting
Adjust the primary air shutter if the barbecue blows out frequently. The flame should be mainly blue with a bit of yellow at the top.

Limited Warranty
Kuuma Products offers a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers repair or replacement but not removal or re-installation. Products must be returned with authorization and proof of purchase.
