***Before using for the first time, wash your pot in hot, soapy water. Dry immediately to
prevent water spots. To prevent scratches, avoid using sharp utensils when cooking.
***Discoloration of the stainless steel will result if the pieces are allowed to overheat excessively.
- For hard-to-clean stains or discoloration of the stainless steel, use a non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaner.
- Follow the directions on the containers using a clean, damp sponge or cloth. DO NOT
scrub finish with a soap-filled steel wool pad or harsh abrasive cleanser, as scratching will
occur.
*** Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
***Should clean the pot after use everytime.
1. Store cooker in a cool dry place.
2. Spray WD-40 on the burner grid after it has cooled to prevent rust.
3. For long term storage, cover the cast iron burner, the hose and regulator assembly in a plastic bag.
4. Spiders and small insects have been known to spin webs inside the venturi tube of the cast iron burner.
Obstructions in the venturi tube interfere with the flow of air and gas throught the burner. This can cause a
yellow flame or a flashback. If this happens, remove the cast burner from the frame and clean the venturi
tube with a stiff, bent wire or screwdriver. We also advise cleaning inside the top ports as well.
5. Do not tamper with or attempt repairs on the burner, frame, valve, or LP cylinder. Allow only qualified LP gas
dealers to make repairs.
6. Always close the tank valve first after use. Always use and store the LP cylinder in an upright position. Never
store the LP cylinders in occupied enclosures.
a. Outdoor Use Only!! Never use inside a garage, porch, on a closed deck or near any building.
Keep the cooker away from open flames, sparks and lit cigarettes.
b. NEVER COVER THE STOCKPOT WITH THE LID WHEN FRYING WITH OIL. Always use a 12
〞
Steel long stem thermometer when deep-frying. Do not allow the oil temperature to exceed 375
°
F.
Risk of fire will occur if you exceed this temperature. Control the cooking temperature with the
regulator valve.
c. Your Saf-T-Cooker is equipped with a timer to stop the flow of gas after 15 minutes, however this
safety feature is not intended to allow you leave the Saf-T-Cooker unattended while it is in use.
Always maintain a close watch of the cooking temperature as displayed on the included
thermometer; if the oil temperature begins to exceed the 375
°
F maximum frying temperature,
lower the temperature by turning the regulator valve counterclockwise.
d. Do not touch hot surfaces. Always wear long oven mitts to protect hands and forearms when lifting
the lid during steaming and when lowering the poultry stand onto the stockpot for frying or the
boil/steam basket for boiling. Use both hands to lift the poultry stand from the stockpot.
e. After cooking with your Saf-T-Cooker, allow it to cool down for two hours before moving it or
attempting to drain the oil or other cooking liquid. Never attempt to move the cooker when in use.
Be extremely careful when moving the pot if it contains hot oil or other liquids. Always allow the
cooker to cool completely before attempting to move or clean it.
f. An approved fire extinguisher nearby is recommended – consult your local authority for
recommended type and size.
g. After boiling seafood or peanuts, do not pour salt water onto your lawn. It will kill the grass!! Allow
the water to cool and pour it down street drains.
h. Do not modify or alter this cooker or its components.
