Brinkmann 815-3880-0 owner manual

WARNING

•Avoid touching hot surfaces, wear oven mitts to protect your hands and non-slick shoes. Use caution when walking or standing near cooker as splattered oil may have created a slick surface.

•Avoid bumping into cooker or boiling pot to prevent hot liquid spills or overturning cooker.

•Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping over the hose could overturn the cooker or knock pot of hot liquid from cooker causing severe burns.

•Fully extend hose between propane tank and cooker to protect hose from contact with hot surfaces which could create a leak. Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.

•Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pot over an open flame; the bottom of the pot could melt. Always have liquid in boiling pot prior to placing over flame. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pot larger than the retaining ring will rest on top of the ring. Use caution to avoid knocking pot from retaining ring.

•Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid. In some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required.

•Should oil spill-over/boil-over occur, be sure to check that flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could accumulate creating a highly flammable and very dangerous situation. Allow all gas to dissipate prior to relighting cooker.

•Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Reduce flame immediately to avoid igniting oil. Never exceed 375° F.

•Frozen food should be completely thawed before placing in hot oil. Pat food dry before placing in hot oil. Never add water or food that is dripping wet to hot oil as this could cause oil to splash and cause severe burns.

•Use extreme care when removing food from hot oil or liquid. Remove food from pot SLOWLY. As contents may be heavy and oil may drip or splatter during removal, extra attention must be used during this process to avoid overturning pot of hot liquid.

•After food is cooked, turn off cooker and remove food. Allow cooker, pot and liquid to cool completely before handling.

•Do not use or store cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

•Do not use this cooker and boiling pot for other than its intended purpose.

•Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation.

•Properly dispose of all packaging materials.

USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR COOKER.
