WARNING
• This appliance shall be used OUTDOORS only. Do NOT use in a building, home, garage,
balcony, porch, tent or any other enclosed area. Cookers shall not be used on or under
apartment or condominium balcony or deck. Do NOT install or use in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
• When cooking, the cooker must be on a level, stable, noncombustible surface in an area clear
of combustible material. An asphalt surface (blacktop) may not be acceptable for this purpose.
• Do not use on combustible flooring or surfaces.
• Do NOT operate appliance any closer than 10 feet from any combustible materials including
walls or railings or under overhead construction as these materials could ignite should grease
fire occur.
• This appliance is not for frying turkeys. The maximum size cooking vessel/pot for frying with
this appliance using grease or oil is 10 quarts. The maximum size pot for boiling (water,
vegetable, stock, etc.) is 80 quarts.
• Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Oil ignites at varying
temperatures; therefore, never allow the oil to exceed 400°F (200°C) and NEVER LEAVE HEATING
OIL UNATTENDED.
• Carefully monitor the temperature of the oil with the thermometer and regulate the temperature
so that it does not reach the "Fire Hazard" zone on the thermometer. If necessary, turn the gas
OFF to the appliance to allow the oil to cool.
• When cooking with oil or grease, the thermometer provided MUST be used. Follow
instructions in this manual for proper installation and use of the thermometer. If the
thermometer supplied with this fryer/boiler has been lost or damaged, a replacement
thermometer must be obtained before using this fryer. Use only replacement thermometer
# 072-0005-0. This thermometer can be obtained by contacting The Brinkmann Corporation
at 1-800-527-0717.
• Test the thermometer before each use by inserting it into a cooking vessel of boiling water and
ensure that it registers approximately 212°F +/- 20˚F (100°C +/- 10˚C). If the thermometer does
not function properly, a replacement thermometer must be obtained before using this cooker.
This thermometer can be obtained by contacting The Brinkmann Corporation at
1-800-527-0717.
• If the temperature exceeds 400°F (200°C) or if oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner
or gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to less than 350°F (175°C) before
relighting burner. (See instructions on page 11 for relighting.) If there is a lid (cover), do not
remove the lid as oxygen will feed a fire.
• Hot oil or water can cause severe burns and permanent disfigurement; use caution and
common sense when operating this product.
• Never use a cooking vessel larger than 80 quarts or one that does not fit within the retaining
brackets of this appliance. Never use a cooking vessel less than 12.5 inches in diameter. Adjust
retaining brackets to fit as close as possible without touching the pot, approximately 1/4 inch.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended. Keep children and pets away from the appliance at all
times. Carefully monitor all activity around cooker to avoid burns or other injuries. Do not wear
loose clothing or allow long hair to hang freely while lighting or using cooker.
• Use caution when walking or standing near cooker as splattered oil may have created a slick
surface. Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping
over the hose could overturn the cooker or knock cooking vessel of hot liquid from cooker
causing severe burns.
• Avoid bumping of or impact with the appliance to prevent spillage or splashing of hot
cooking liquid.
