in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. A qualified technician is

 

required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas.

3.

The “push-to-turn” knobs of this wok/cooker are designed to be childsafe. However, children

 

should not be left alone in the kitchen while the wok is in use. Do not store items of interest to

 

children over the unit. CAUTION: Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this product could expose you to substances in fuel or fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

For example, benzene is a chemical which is part of the gas supplied to the cooking product. It is consumed in the flame during combustion. However, exposure to a small amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde and soot are by- products of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than yellow flame minimize incomplete combustion.

4.

GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Never

 

pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid,

 

cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking

 

soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.

5.

Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and

 

greasy spill-overs which may ignite.

6.

If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft

 

could cause the flames to spread out of control.

7.

Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

 

appliance.

8.

Never use your wok/cooker for warming or heating a room. This is based on safety

 

considerations.

9.

Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. Using

 

undersized utensils allows the flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of

 

the utensil and making cleanup harder.

10.

The flame of the surface burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot.

 

Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the

 

outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.

1.WARNING: This wok/cooker is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

2.WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

3.Keep the wok/cooker area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

4.When the wok/cooker is not in use, the gas supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder.

5.The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the wok/cooker must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.

6.Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “on” position and this must be done by a qualified technician.

7.The LP supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

8.Gas Manifold Pressure:

Natural gas -

4.0” W.C.P.

LP/Propane -

10.0” W.C.P.

11.

Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

 

Do not let potholders touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

12.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

 

contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward

 

toward the center of the unit, and so that it does not extend over adjacent burners.

13.

Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

 

not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
