Do not place an empty cooking container on a lit
burner. Empty aluminum cooking containers will
melt if placed over a lit burner.
Discard any cooking vessel that may be pitted with
holes that could allow cooking oil to leak onto the
open flame of the burner. Leaking oil will ignite and
cause a fire.
Never use a cooking container larger than the
capacity of 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 immediately.
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

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

base, LP cylinder, regulator hose assembly, hose,and
burner assemblies before each use. Replace any
