Owner Manual
1. Sober adult operation ONLY! Read and understand this manual before using the product. The use of alcohol, prescription or nonprescription
drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble or safely operate appliance.
2. LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive. Combustion of propane consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas). Therefore, never operate an outdoor cooker inside a building or confined area where
ventilation may be restricted. Make sure the LP Cylinder and the appliance is placed in an open area. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
3. Never leave unit unattended. Most accidents occur as a result of leaving the unit unattended.
When Frying... a unit left unattended may eventually overheat, resulting in a serious grease fire.
When Boiling... a unit left unattended may eventually boil over. Water can splash down on the burner and put out the fire resulting in
propane gas being released out into the cooking area.
When Steaming... a unit left unattended may eventually evaporate all the water inside the steam pot. If water is allowed to evaporate
completely, the heat from this unit will melt a hole into the bottom of the pot, resulting in a loss of the pot and the food inside.
4. This is an ATTENDED appliance. Do NOT leave this appliance unattended while heating oil, grease or water, cooking food or when hot
after use [oil, grease or water above 100°F(38°C)]. Heated liquid can remain at scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended.
5. Use ONLY on a level, stable non-combustibles surface like brick, concrete or dirt. Do NOT use this appliance on any surface that will
burn or melt like wood, asphalt, vinyl, or plastic.
6. This appliance is for OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Do NOT use on wooden decks,
under roof overhangs, on porches, carports or at garage door openings.
7. Do NOT locate this appliance under ANY overhead construction. Keep a minimum clearance of 10 feet from the sides, front and back
of the appliance to ANY construction. Keep the area clear and free of any combustible material such as household chemicals, paint,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
8. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. Replacement hose assemblies for Bayou Classic Cookers are:

10. Do NOT move the appliance when in use. Allow the cooker to cool before moving or storing.
11. NEVER overfill the cooking pot with oil, grease or water.
12. Do NOT place an empty cooking vessel on the appliance while in operation. The intense heat will melt an empty pot. Use caution when
placing anything on the cooking vessel.
13. Always wear shoes while cooking. Always wear mitts when handling the cooker, pots, and accessories.

CARE AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALUMINUM STOCKPOTS
Failure to comply with these warnings and instructions can result in property damage, personal injury and death.
Care & Use for Polished Aluminum Pots
1. It is recommended that you season the pot before use. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil inside and spread it with a paper towel
until the entire bottom and sides are coated. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Wash out the interior of the pot, and it will be ready to use.
(DO NOT apply to flame during any of this process) CAUTION: Empty aluminum pots will melt if placed over an open flame.
2. After cooking, let pans and lids cool gradually. Do not pour cold water into a hot pan. This can cause the bottom of the pan to warp,
and it can cause grease to splatter. Always wash the pans thoroughly in hot, soapy detergent after each use to remove all traces of
food, salt, or grease particles that will burn causing stains when the pan is reheated.
