The operating instructions and trouble shoot guide are from Kuuma Products, the manufacturers of Kuuma Grills.
Propane Gas Hook-up:
1. Stow n Go Kuuma BBQs are set-up for High Pressure Propane. Low-pressure valves are available from Kuuma to replace the standard high-pressure regulator.
2. When using standard 1 Lb disposable propane canisters, ensure the regulator is in the off position prior to fastening the canister to the marine BBQ. Take caution not to cross thread.
3. When using a propane supply already on board, the boat BBQ can be hooked up prior to the regulator, as the barbecue has its own regulator valve assembly, direct from the box. If you wish to hook up on the low-pressure side of your system’s regulator, you need to get a low-pressure control valve from Kuuma Products. DO NOT DOUBLE REGULATE.
4. Check for leaks prior to use.
5. The disposable propane canister must not be more than 45 degrees off vertical
6. Store and use the barbecue in a well ventilated area. Do not store with Propane bottle attached.
7. Do not store fuel tanks in direct sunlight, indoors, or in temperatures over 120 °F.
8. Shut off connections at tank supply when barbecue is not in use.
Lighting your Kuuma grill:
Now that your Kuuma marine barbecue has been connected to a propane supply you are ready to light it.
1. Never operate any Kuuma Barbecue indoors. Use only in a well ventilated area.
2. Make sure the regulator is in the off position.
3. Open grill lid.
4. Push and turn the grill regulator counter-clockwise to the high setting.
5. Light the Kuuma BBQ with a Butane lighter using the lighting holes located either on the right hand side of the heat plate or on the left side of the marine BBQ.
6. Visually confirm burner is lit by looking through the front of the BBQ grill.
7. Adjust grill heat setting.
8. To shut off the BBQ grill, turn knob clockwise to the Lock-Off position.
Note: If grill burner does not light after (10) seconds, turn valve to off position and wait
(5) minutes before repeating.
Cooking with your Kuuma Grill:
1. Do not overheat the Kuuma BBQ. Kuuma gas grill models do not require preheating. Kuuma Electric grills require 25 to 30 minutes of preheating.
2. Do not cook on the high setting with the lid closed.
Stow n Go Hybrid Model 83706 and CUBE model 83771 – Running on Electricity
These models can be run on 120V electricity as well. Do not operate on electricity and propane at the same time. To operate with electricity, simply hook the power cord to the receptacle on the Kuuma bbq and then into a 120V outlet. For the most part, you will operate on high only. Preheat in this mode (electric) takes up to 30 minutes.
DO NOT LEAVE THE KUUMA HYBRID OR ELECTRIC MODELS MOUNTED WHERE IT CAN BE EXPOSED TO WATER / MOISTURE / RAIN. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT. DO NOT OPERATE IN RAIN OR DAMPNESS. DO NOT STAND IN WATER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE.
Lock the lid securely with the latches when the BBQ grill is not in use.
Kuuma Grill Adjustments:
There is an air adjustment that can be made on the Kuuma BBQ to optimize performance
(Propane Grill Models)
There are two air adjustment locations on the Stow N’ Go BBQ.
The external air baffle is located on the regulator housing on the right side of the Stow n Go BBQ. When cooking in windy conditions, slide the baffle forward to reduce the cross wind effect on the orifice.
There is a primary air shutter located on the far end of the burner in the regulator housing. (Shown below) This air shutter adjusts the flame quality of the burner.
The burner flame should be mostly blue with yellow tips. If the flame is completely blue with a wild flame, the opening at air shutter needs to be reduced. (Do not completely close this opening) If the flame is yellow, the opening needs to be made larger.
Stow n Go Regulator
The regulator pressure may be set too low and you may have to reset it. Remove the silver label in the center of the regulator (where it says “Push to Turn”). By turning the Phillips head or 3/32 hex screw found below this label, you can increase or decrease the gas flow. Clockwise increases the gas flow, and counterclockwise decreases the gas flow.
CAUTION: You can increase the gas flow too much and the gas will not shut off. Check this carefully after each adjustment.
