* HOW TO CHECK FOR LEAKS
Make a soap and water solution. Apply liquid to all areas with
fi
ttings
or connections. Turn on the gas.
DO NOT IGNITE the unit. If the soap
bubbles, you have a leak at that location. Check all connections and
repeat the steps above. You should repeat this check each time you
disconnect anything with a
fi
tting.
** ALWAYS FOLLOW GUIDELINES PROVIDED
BY YOUR TANK AND GAS SUPPLIERS
*** HOW TO CHECK THAT THE VALVES ARE OFF
Valves are shipped in the off position.
Always check that they are turned off
before using. Check by pushing down
on the black knob and turning in a
clockwise direction. If the knob
does not turn in a clockwise
motion when it is depressed
it is off.
Make sure that the burner valve
is set to the
OFF POSITION
before opening the gas valve.
TO IGNITE COOKER:
•
Attach 1 lb. propane tank to the regulator located
on the side of the Namath Rapid Cooker™. Be sure
the liquid propane tank is fastened tightly and always
check the integrity of the tank prior to connecting.
If using a connector hose for a larger liquid propane
tank, be sure that the attachments are fastened tight
at each end and turn on the large tank
fi
rst to allow
the propane to travel through the connector hose.
Always read safety instructions and product warnings
prior to use.
•
Never lean over the cooking unit.
•
Depress knob and turn counter-clockwise
to the
LIGHTING POSITION.
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE OPENING WHILE
LIGHTING. STAND OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE UNIT
WHILE LIGHTING. IF UNIT DOES NOT IGNITE, SEE
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Page 5).
•
Press the igniter button on the front of the cooker
for 2-3 seconds. You will hear a snap and a spark to
the burner and you should feel the unit warming up.
If you do not, turn off the unit and open the drawer
for 5 minutes to allow all gas and fumes to clear.
Repeat the steps.
•
If this fails for a third time, make certain that your
liquid propane tank is not empty and then call
1-888-444-4134 for further instruction.
•
Once you have the cooker lit, leave on HIGH
for 3-5 minutes before setting desired temperature.
TO EXTINGUISH COOKER:
•
Turn gas off at the source.
•
Depress knob and turn clockwise
to the
OFF POSITION and release knob.

Utilisez ce graphique ainsi qu’un thermomètre alimen-
taire pour vérifier que la viande, la volaille, les fruits de
mer et les autres aliments cuits atteignent une
température interne de cuisson minimum de sécurité.
il est impossible de savoir si la viande est
cuite à une température sûre en la regardant.
N’importe quelle viande rouge fraiche et cuite - y
compris la viande de porc – peut être rosée même
quand la température intérieure a atteint un niveau sûr.
Après avoir retiré la viande du grill, du four ou
d’une autre source de cuisson, laissez-la reposer
durant la période indiquée. Pendant cette période
de repos, la température reste constante ou con-
tinue à augmenter, ce qui détruit des germes
potentiellement nocifs.
