COOKING WITH OIL OR GREASE

• When cooking with oil or grease, a thermometer MUST be used for reasonable temperature reading.

Follow instructions for

proper testing, installation and use of a thermometer in this manual.

• Cooking oil pre-heat up to over-heat times can vary significantly with relatively small adjustments to regulator;

variable wind, ambient temperature, altitude, starting oil temperature, and type of cooking oil used.

• Carefully monitor temperature of cooking oil with your thermometer and adjust regulator control valve as

needed to prevent oil/grease from overheating.

• Never allow oil or grease to exceed 350˚F (177˚C). Oil or grease can ignite and catch fire at temperatures

above 350˚F (177˚C).

• Due to varying heating and cooking times, check your thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking oil

does not exceed 350˚F (177˚C).

• High pressure cookers can typically heat 3 quarts of cooking oil/grease to 350˚F (175˚C) in 3 to 5 minutes.
• Even when burner is set at a low flame, never leave the cooker unattended. Cooking oil/grease will heat

up quickly.

• DO NOT use a lid when pre-heating or cooking with oil. Using a lid when frying greatly increases the

potential of over-heating the oil to ignition and fire.

• Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Regardless of thermometer reading,

if the oil/grease starts to smoke, turn OFF fuel supply to the burner and STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY.

This indicates the thermometer is not working properly.

• Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil/grease or water. Follow instructions in this manual for establishing

proper liquid levels for cooking.

• When frying with oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove

excess water. Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow from cooking

vessel. If ice is present on the food, it means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a boil

over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire and severe burns.

• Never drop food or accessories into hot liquids. Wear protective gloves and S-L-O-W-L-Y lower food and

accessories into cooking oil in order to prevent splashing or overflow. Be careful when removing food from

oil. It is hot and could cause burns.

• In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking with oil, cover the cooking

vessel and immediately turn off the burner and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker or cooking vessel.

PLACEMENT OF COOKER - CONTINUED

• Keep the cooking area clear and free of any combustible material such as household chemicals, paint,

gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not store or use gasoline or other liquid/aerosols

with flammable vapors within 25 feet (7.5m) of this cooker.

• Prior to lighting the burner, check wind direction for placement of cooker

DOWNWIND

from upright

LP cylinder. The cooker must be

DOWNWIND

and at least 20" away from the LP cylinder to keep heat away

from LP cylinder.

• Check that gas supply hose does not contact surfaces that may become hot during use.

The cylinder valve must be tur

ned off (clockwise) before any

connection is made or removed.
2.

GAS FLOW LIMITING DEVICE

, when activated, restricts the

flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for BURNER COOKER

DO NOT stand with head, body or arms over the cooker when lighting. Loose clothing and hair can catch fire.

Look at the tank/cylinder valve knob and the top will be labeled with the direction you
need to turn it to OPEN (let gas flow) or CLOSE (shut gas flow off).

Make sure the tank/cylinder valve is in the OFF position.

Check this by rotating the valve in the CLOSE direction until it stops.

Look at the regulator control valve and the top will be labeled with the direction you
need to turn it to OPEN (let gas flow) or CLOSE (shut gas flow off).

Make sure the

regulator control valve is in the OFF position.

Check this by rotating the valve in the

CLOSE direction until it stops.

NOTE:

if the regulator control valve is left in the ON

position, the Gas Flow Limiting device may be activated when the tank/cylinder valve
is turned ON, which will limit gas flow and can prevent the cooker from lighting.

Turn on the fuel supply by S-L-O-W-L-Y rotating the tank/cylinder valve one full turn in
the OPEN direction.

HINT:

Turning the tank/cylinder valve quickly causes a sudden rush

of gas that sometimes activates the Gas Flow Limiting Device. To prevent this, always
rotate tank/cylinder valve S-L-O-W-L-Y.

NOTE:

The regulator control knob controls flame intensity only.

It is not an ON/OFF valve. Practice rotating the regulator

control knob to become familiar with flame adjustment.

Your burner has an air control shutter, rotate the shutter until a blue flame is
achieved.

In direct sunlight, flame may appear clear. If the air shutter is tightened

and will not utrn. Turn OFF the burner and loosen screws enough to turn the air
shutter and it will hold its position. Once ideal flame has been established, you
can tighten the screws fully.

WARNING:

never adjust a hot burner. Only adjust

when it is OFF and cool to touch.

Adjust the regulator valve for the desired flame height.

BURNER FLAME CHECK

Adjust flame height using regulator valve. Rotate air control shutter to achieve mostly blue flame.

The air control shutter mounted on the front of burner helps to control the amount of air that mixes

with the LP gas. A blue flame with little or no yellow flame indicates a proper air/gas mixture

and provides the best heat. Adjust the air control shutter until the desired flame is achieved.

NOTE:

Make sure the brass fitting on hose is screwed into the burner/air shutter and tightened

securely. Do not over-tighten as the air shutter needs to move freely in order to adjust air intake.

Check the attachment for proper connection everytime propane tank is connected to cooker.

HINT: Before lighting, turn air control shutter on the burner to an almost closed position. This increases the gas portion of the air/gas

mixture and makes the burner easier to light. After lighting, turn air control shutter to an open position to achieve a better flame.

If burner flame does NOT ignite immediately, or is accidentally extinguished, turn LP Gas Cylinder Valve clockwise to OFF. Then

turn regulator valve clockwise to OFF position. Wait 5 minutes for gas to evacuate before re-lighting, then repeat steps 1- 4 to

re-light. Always use caution when re-lighting as cooker frame and cooking vessel will be hot.
If the burner does not light within the first few attempts, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the cylinder and

regulator.

DO NOT

attempt to operate the cooker until the problem is found and corrected.

Refer to Troubleshooting on Pages 16 - 17.

Position fireplace match or long lighter over the burner, then S-L-O-W-L-Y turn regulator control valve until

you hear gas HISSING from the burner.

Burner should light immediately.

CAUTION:

The flame may be difficult

to see in direct sunlight. Do not remove match or lighter until you are sure flame is lit.

Position hand

below burner

If flame fails to light within 3 - 5 seconds, turn off gas flow by rotating the regulator
valve in the CLOSE direction until it stops.

Allow gas to evacuate/dissipate before

attempting to relight the burner by repeating step 6.

NOTE:

If the cooker does not

light within the first few attempts, there is a problem with the gas supply.  Turn off the
gas at the tank/cylinder and regulator.  DO NOT attempt to operate the cooker until
the problem is found and corrected.  Refer to troubleshooting section of this manual.

TURNING OFF COOKER AND DISCONNECTING HOSE

NOTE:

Turn off LP gas cylinder valve first

to prevent gas from being left in the regulator hose system under pressure.

Turn OFF the LP gas cylinder valve

clockwise

until it stops.

Turn regulator valve to the OFF position,

clockwise

until it stops.

To disconnect Regulator Hose Assembly, turn the large coupling nut

counter-clockwise
