PLACE THE COOKER OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE AWAY FROM
ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. IN WINDY WEATHER, THE COOKER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN
AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND. GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE
PERFORMED EVERY TIME THE COOKER IS USED.
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COOKER.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Regulator Control Valve
Basket Holder
1.
Make sure the regulator control valve is in “OFF” position.
2.
Fill metal cookware with desired amount of water or oil. Never fill pan more than
half way to allow room for addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquids.
Never place an empty pan over an open flame. Do not place pan on cooker at
this time.
3.
Open the propane tank valve two full turns. Using a long match, hold the flame
2
" above burner porthole. Open the regulator control valve SLOWLY until the
burner lights.
WARNING:
If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank
valve and regulator control valve OFF immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until
gas fumes have dissipated before attempting to light the burner again.
4.
After lighting the burner, open the regulator control valve until a large yellow
flame appears. Adjust the air shutter valve on the cooker until the flame turns
blue. Use the regulator control valve to adjust the flame accordingly.
5.
Place pan with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows placement of a 14.5"
(36.8 cm) diameter pan. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on the
retaining ring of cooker.
WARNING:
Before proceeding read all safety warnings and instructions
carefully before operating your cooker.
6.
Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best results, use a deep fry
thermometer to check oil temperature. If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to
avoid igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F (190° C).
7.
Use pan/pot with a cooking basket or strainer with handle to lower food into hot
liquid. Lower food into the pan slowly. Frozen foods should be thawed to room
temperature before placing in hot liquid. The temperature of liquid will drop when
food is added. Adjust the flame to return to desired cooking temperature. When
the desired temperature is achieved, reduce the heat to maintain temperature.
8.
Test food for doneness using a meat thermometer after removing from hot liquid.
Use caution as food will be very hot.
WARNING:
Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan. Always
grip pan handle with one hand while lifting basket with the other. Failure to do
so could create a situation where you pull the pan off the burner spilling the
contents onto yourself or someone else. Always hang basket directly over pan
as illustrated. This allows hot liquid to drip back into the pan. Hanging the
basket in any other way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot liquid.
9.
When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank valve OFF first,
then turn the regulator control valve OFF.
10. Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in the ”After-Use
Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections on page 6 of this manual.
