FOR MODELS WITH MANUAL VALVE(S) CONTROLS
(ILLUSTRATIONS PAGE 24)
*Some models have two hoses with manual valves that work independently. Follow below
instructions for each manual valve.
1. Check the cooker to make sure that it is set up as per the diagram (Figure 1).
2. Make certain the manual valve(s) is turned to the “OFF” position by turning it clockwise until it
reaches the stop position.
3. Open the cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 3).
4. Insert a multipurpose lighter through the hole in the shroud as per Figure 4, or use a paper book
match placed above casting as per Figure 5. Turn the manual valve control toward the “ON”
position until ignition occurs. Turning the manual valve counterclockwise increases the gas flow
to the burner and hence the flame size (Figure 3).
When lighting the burner, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the manual valve(s)
and cylinder control off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
5. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting
(Figure 6). If not, rotate the air shutter position until there is a blue flame. Opening the shutter
too much will cause the flame to “Lift” off the burner.
If there is a yellow flame, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be an
obstruction in the venturi tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on page 26 for more
information regarding a yellow flame.
6. Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process
the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the manual valve(s) and cylinder
valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse and relight the cooker according to the lighting
instructions (#1 - #5) in this section.
TURNING OFF AND STORING THE COOKER AFTER USE
NEVER MOVE THE COOKER OR POT WHILE IN USE OR STILL HOT [ABOVE
100°F (38°C)].
1. After each use turn OFF the King Kooker
®
at the regulator/manual valve first, then at the gas
cylinder valve. Check to make sure there is no flame and all valves are off. Do not leave
the cooker until it has cooled completely. When removing food from the cooker wear protective
mitts.
2. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder by turning the Type 1 fitting counterclockwise until
the regulator is separated from the tank.
3. Storage of this cooker indoors is permissable only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the cooker. Do not use or store cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area. Read and
follow all cylinder manufacturer’s instructions. The cylinder must be stored out of the reach of
children at all times. Keep entire unit in area to avoid insects and contamination that can clog
the venturi tube.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN FIRE,
EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH COULD CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
