SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USING OUTDOOR COOKERS FOR DEEP FRYING
1.
Always use a deep fry thermometer when frying and refer to the Instructions for using a Deep Fry
Thermometer, page 21.
2.
Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.
3.
Never fill a pot beyond the maximum fill line. If the pot being used does not have a maximum fill
line, follow these instructions to determine the amount of cooking oil to be used:
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 just until the food product is completely submerged. There must
be a minimum of 3 inches 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 oil the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.
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.
If deep frying a turkey refer to special Deep Fried Turkey Instructions, pages 25-26.
7.
In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms fo 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.
8.
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. In some cases, a Type BC or Type ABC may, in some circumstances, may contain
the fire.
TURNING OFF AND STORING THE COOKER AFTER USE
1.
After each use turn OFF the King Kooker

WARNING
5.
Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting. If not,
rotate the air shutter position until there is a blue flame. Opening the shutter too much will cause
the flame to “Lift” off the burner (Figure 6).
If there is a yellow flame, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be an
obstruction in the venturi tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on page 24 for more
information regarding a yellow flame.
6.
Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process
the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the needle valve and cylinder valve OFF.
Wait 5 minutes and relight the cooker according to the lighting instructions (#1 - #5) in this section.
