The directions say to disconnect the electrical supply only. Is it necessary to turn off the gas as well?

It's always a good idea to turn off the gas. That said, I did not and it's not necessary - as long as your oven valve is off and you don't have any gas leaks in or around your stove.

You only need a gas connection. This does not come with any type of electronic ignition. It's not needed. You light it with a long match or lighter. I Love mine!

I have not looked to see how easy it would be but you should be able to disconnect the fuel line. You may need an extra piece of hose to reach fuel container.

Mine doesn't look exactly like that one, it's really close though. The "wire or gizmo" is attached to a little black thing on the bottom next to that button on the neck (which is how u start it once the gas is on) which is the safety shut off if it gets knocked over and the wire goes to what I believe is a sensor of some kind that goes into the heated part and will shut it off if it's not lit.

You need to have it checked out and have it serviced. Double check grade of gas you r using also. We don't have any problem with our generator running the air or microwave.

One can disconnect the fuel line at any point and drain the fuel. If you disconnect it at the carburetor, you will be able to use the fuel shutoff valve to stop the flow. This is quite handy if your catch bottle/jug/can becomes full, which will likely occur if the generator is full. They hold something on the order of about 10 gallons.

No auto shut off - you squeeze the handle to pump the gas, when you let go of the handle it shuts off.

Yes, you unplug it to turn it off. My understanding is that it is safer to leave it in the liquid for half a minute or more after unplugging it to let the heating element cool down. If you plug it in when it's not in liquid, it can overheat internally and stop working. I use mine every day at work.

Personally, I would disconnect for easier storage. that way the gas canister can be stored safely somewhere else.

I discovered that it's best to close the tank valve and leave the grill on so the gas in the line will mostly burn out. Otherwise when you disconnect there is 12' of LP in the line that will spray out.

No, you have to unplug it to turn it off. Works great though a little slow cooking but perfect omelets

I think you could unplug the electrical connections in a couple minutes. The power/ground/power-on-signal wires are all on one plug. The speaker inputs are an easy connection also. How you temporarily mount this unit in your trunk may be the hardest thing to disconnect.

Hello, if you remove the large fuse which should be located near the battery. It's inline with the thick red cable coming from the washer heater. This will disable the unit. I hope this helps. Matt

It can't shut off the gas because the gas isn't running through the scale. You have to do it manually.
