Never use glassware, plastic, or ceramic cookware
on the appliance.
In cases of bad weather such as rain, snow, hail,
sleet, or other forms of precipitation while cooking
with oil or grease, cover the cooking vessel imme
-
diately. Turn off the burners and gas supply and do not
attempt to move the appliance.
Do NOT move the appliance when in use. Allow the
cooking liquid to cool to 100° F (38° C) before
moving or storing.
Avoid bumping the appliance to prevent contact
with hot surfaces, spillage, or splashing of hot
cooking liquids.
6.1.3 After Cooking
The pot and lid together weigh 37 pounds and with
food and can easily weigh more than 100 pounds.
Use care if removing the pot from the base.
Heated cooking liquids and equipment will remain
at temperatures capable of causing severe burns
and injuries long after cooking has ended.
Do not leave the appliance unattended until
the oil, grease, or water temperature falls
below 100° F (38° C).
The valve on the LP cylinder must be closed when
not in use.
6.2 Typical Cooking Guidelines
1. Visually inspect the entire appliance, including the
base, LP cylinder, regulator hose assembly, hose,and
burner assemblies before each use. Replace any
damaged or worn parts.
Note:
Check the fill level of the LP cylinder prior to cooking.
If the level is low, use a new or refilled LP cylinder. Do not
attach a new LP cylinder once cooking has started.
Do not disconnect the regulator
hose assembly or loosen any gas
fitting while the appliance is in operation because the
LP gas can cause severe burns form freezing.
2. Light the burner. Refer to section “5.5 Soapy Water
Test” on page 13.
To prevent personal injury from
an open flame, be careful of
placing loose hair and clothing near the flame during
operation as they could catch fire. Keep a grease‑rated
fire extinguisher nearby.
3. Place the pot into the base and fill. If cooking oil is
being used, maintain a minimum of three inches
between the cooking oil and the top of the pot.
4. Heat the food or the cooking liquid to the desired
temperature.
a. If using cooking oil, remember that it can take
anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to heat
cooking oil, depending on the amount, outside
temperature, and weather conditions.
b. A typical temperature for deep frying oil is
350° F. However, it can quickly reach its flash
point once this temperature is achieved.
The sides of the base (frame )
and pot become dangerously
hot, posing a severe burn hazard. To prevent injury,
always use properly‑fitting oven mitts or pot holders
when handling hot stew pots or other accessories.
5. When used for stews or soups:
a. Remember, cast iron heats unevenly, but once it
gets hot, it stays hot.
b. Preheat the pot over very low heat.
c. Once food has been added, slowly increase the
heat to the desired temperature.
6. When using cooking oil to fry food, turn burner OFF
before placing the food item into the pot. This is
especially important when placing large food items
into the pot, as outlined in Step 7.
