READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN FIRE,
EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH COULD CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
DEEP FRYING WITH OUTDOOR COOKERS
1.
The gas shut-off system should stop the gas flow if the oil in the pot overheats. However, it is important to always attend the appliance
and monitor the cooking liquid temperature with the deep fry thermometer provided with the appliance for successful and safe
cooking.
2.
Always use a deep fry thermometer when using this appliance as a fryer/boiler.
a. Before each use of the appliance make sure that the thermometer is properly calibrated by placing the tip in
a pot of boiling water. The thermometer should register /-20° of 212°F or +/-10° of 100°C. If
the thermometer is miscalibrated, contact Metal Fusion, Inc. to obtain a replacement before using
the appliance.
b. Hang the thermometer on the inside of the pot with the probe immersed in the cooking
liquid. Never place a lid over a pot when monitoring the temperature of oil.
c. Once the fire has been lit monitor the temperature on the thermometer at all times. Water boils at
212°F(100°C). The temperature of hot oil should never be allowed to exceed 350°F(177°C).
IMPORTANT: Oil can ignite at high temperatures. Most King Kooker® thermometers have a Red Zone above
350°F(177°C) to signify Danger. Never allow the temperature to exceed 350°F(177°C). If the temperature goes above
350°F(177°C) immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to below
350°F(177°C) before relighting according to instructions in the manual. If at any point during the cooking process the
oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF regardless of the reading on the thermometer.
Allow time for the oil to cool, then contact Metal Fusion, Inc. for further instructions.
d. When the cooking is complete and the cooker has been turned off, allow the temperature of the oil to fall
below 100°F(38°C) before moving the pot, cooking oil, or cooker.
e. Please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 with any questions concerning the use or operation of
the thermometer.
3.
Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.
4.
Always thaw and dry food completely before placing it into hot oil. Frozen or wet food may cause oil or grease to
overflow.
5.
Never put an empty pot over an open flame.
6.
In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil/grease, cover the cooking
vessel immediately and turn off the appliance burners and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the appliance or
cooking vessel.
7.
When cooking with oil or grease, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the event of an oil or
grease fire do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately call your Fire Department. A Type BC or Type ABC
fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
DETERMINING PROPER FILL LEVELS FOR COOKING VESSELS
Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Always fill to at least the minimum fill line. Never fill a pot
beyond the maximum fill line. Some models include fry pans that are stamped with only one fill line. This indicates
the exact level to which the oil should be filled before it is heated and food is added.
Follow these instructions to determine the amount of cooking liquid to be used on turkey pots (up to a 20 lb. turkey):
a. Place the food product in or on the holder.
b. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.
c. Fill the vessel with water until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a
minimum of 3 inches (7.5cm) between the water level and top of the vessel.
d. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the water level on the side of
the vessel or measure the amount of water in the vessel.
e. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.
f. This is the amount of cooking liquid the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product. Make sure this
level is located between the minimum fill line and maximum fill line.
