DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you. Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent, boat, car or home. WARNING LP GAS CYLINDER • Use only a 20 pound LP Gas Cylinder or smaller with a protective collar. • 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.
LP GAS CYLINDER SPECIFICA TIONS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS COOKER WARNING LP GAS CYLINDER The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this cooker must have a 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type-1 cylinder valve and an over-filling protection device (OPD). • DO NOT connect this cooker to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left Hand Threads. The Type-1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.
WARNING FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER: • Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder. • New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank. • DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors.
CONNECTING REGULATOR HOSE ASSEMBLY TO COOKER The Regulator Hose Assembly is a pre-assembled unit. Do not take apart. Simply connect the regulator hose assembly to the LP gas cylinder and to the cooker. An adjustable wrench is needed when attaching the hose to the Jet Tube. Visually inspect the regulator hose assembly prior to each use. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
WARNING WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST • • • • After assembling your cooker and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled. Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled or if any of the gas components are replaced. Any time your cooker has been moved. At least once per year or if your cooker has not been used for more than 60 days. GAS LEAK TEST INSTRUCTIONS Note: The gas leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are developing.
POSITIONING THE COOKER 1. Check wind direction. 2. Position cooker DOWNWIND from the nearest structure; no closer than 10-ft from nearest building or railing, keeping flames from any potential oil/grease fire away from nearest structure. 3. Position cooker DOWNWIND from the LP Gas Cylinder keeping a minimum distance of 20" apart so the heat of the cooker does not reach cylinder. 4.

HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER AMOUNT OF LIQUID FOR COOKING For use with cooking vessels that have and do not have Maximum Fill Line Do not use a cooking vessel with strainer baskets, larger than 100-quart for boiling or 36-quart for fyring on this cooker. Do not use a cooking vessel smaller that 12" diameter on this cooker. WARNING If too much water or oil is inside the cooking vessel, it is possible for spillovers to occur when adding a basket filled with food product, or during a rolling boil.
FOLLOW "3-MINUTE:15-MINUTE" BOILING RULE Boiling time varies with type of food being cooked. Seafood generally has the shortest boiling time. For superior cooking results, follow these simple steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Heat water to rolling boil. Reduce cooker flame and carefully lower food basket into boiling water and cover the pot. Increase cooker flame and cook until a rolling boil is achieved. Leaving pot covered, reduce cooker flame and allow rolling boil to continue for 3-minutes.
6. Using an insulated mitt, carefully lower food basket into the cooking vessel, then cover with lid. (Be certain food is not touching the water.) 7. Leave the cooker flame set low during cooking to maintain a steady boil. Hint: Cooked seafood turns from translucent to opaque when done. 8. When steaming is done, turn off gas to the cooker. Wearing an insulated mitt, carefully lift the lid and remove food basket from the cooking vessel.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION Cooker lights but the flame remains very small Rapid gas flow from propane tank activates EXCESS FLOW safety device because Regulator Valve is not in OFF position Repeat lighting instructions and be certain to S-L-O-W-L-Y open cylinder valve one full turn, then S-L-O-W-L-Y open regulator valve to light burner. It may be necessary to disconnect, then reconnect the regulator to the cylinder in order to reset the gas flow system.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE & STORAGE Intense heat from the cooker will discolor heated areas of cooker frame; this is normal. Occasional care must be taken to prolong the life of your cooker. 1. Store cooker in a dry place. Do not store outside exposed to weather. Storage of a gas cooker appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected. If storing cooker indoors, detach and leave LP cylinder outdoors. 2. For long term storage, cover regulator hose assembly, and Jet Tube in a plastic bag. 3.
CARE & USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKW ARE Polished Aluminum Pots 1. It is recommended to season the pot before use.
