GAS FLOW Timer GAS FLOW TIMER INTRODUCTION Your new Bayou Classic® Outdoor Cooker is equipped with a timer located on the hose/regulator (see picture). The timer is designed to shut-off the flow of gas after a pre-set time period (approximately a 15 minute operational cycle) unless manually reset by the user. This timer/hose/regulator assembly should ONLY be used on this Bayou Classic® Outdoor Cooker with the pot provided containing oil or water in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

BURNER FLAME CHECK Follow these instructions to adjust to the optimal burner flame. 1. Adjust the Regulator Valve to achieve the desired flame height. 2. Adjust the air shutter by rotating it until a mostly blue flame is achieved. BURNER FLAME ORANGE BLUE CORRECT A blue flame with little or no yellow flame indicates a proper air/gas mixture and provides the best heat. INCORRECT CAUTION In sunlight or other bright light, the flame may not be visible. Always use caution around an open flame.
MAINTENANCE & CARE Follow these simple steps to keep your appliance looking good and functioning properly for years. 1. Before first use of the appliance, light the cooker and let it run for 5-7 minutes. This initial fire will burn away the manufacturing oil and residue. It is normal to have smoke or slight odor. 2. Always turn OFF the gas supply and disconnect the hose and regulator from the LP cylinder to move or store. 3.
6. Always check the burner/venturi tubes for any obstructions such as insects or insect nests in the burner. To remove burner obstructions: • Use a narrow bottle brush or stiff wire bent into a small hook to run up and down the length of the burner tube. • If necessary, disassemble the burner by removing the serrated nut and unscrewing the mounting bolt from the center of the burner. Use a water hose or compressed air to flush out any debris.
WARNING • Do not use a cooking pot or vessel larger than pot supplied with the unit. Cooking Pot or vessel must fit inside the windscreen of the fryer. CORRECT INCORRECT POT SITTING INSIDE WINDSCREEN POT SITTING ON WINDSCREEN PLACEMENT OF THERMOMETER 1. 1. Make sure clip on thermometer is near the top of the probe (stem). 2.
