Operating Instructions

PLACE THE COOKER OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE AWAY FROM ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. IN WINDY WEATHER, THE COOKER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN

AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND. GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE

PERFORMED EVERY TIME THE COOKER IS USED.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COOKER.

WARNING: Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pan over an open flame; the bottom of the pan could melt. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on top of the ring. Use caution to avoid knocking pan from retaining ring.

Regulator Control Valve

NOTE: Due to the intense heat from burner, it is normal for paint to burn off and discoloration to occur on cooker during the first few uses.

Step 1:

Make sure the regulator control valve is in “OFF” position.

Step 2:

Fill metal cookware with desired amount of water or oil. Never fill pan more than half way to allow room for addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquids. Never place an empty pot/pan over an open flame. Do not place pan on cooker at this time.

WARNING: Never fill the boiling pot more than half way to allow room for addition of food and to avoid hot liquid from boiling over and causing severe burns. Do not place an empty boiling pot on heat source.

Step 3:

Open the propane tank valve two full turns. Using a long match, hold the flame 2" above burner porthole. Open the regulator control valve SLOWLY until the burner lights.

WARNING: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank valve and regulator control valve OFF immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until gas fumes have dissipated before attempting to light the burner again.

Step 4:

After lighting the burner, open the regulator control valve until a large yellow flame appears. Adjust the air shutter valve on the cooker until the flame turns blue. Use the regulator control valve to adjust the flame accordingly.

Step 5:

Place pot with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows placement of a 14.5" (36.8 cm) diameter pot. Any pot larger than the retaining ring will rest on the retaining ring of cooker.

Step 6:

Bring oil or liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best results, use a deep fry thermometer to check oil/liquid temperature. If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to avoid igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F (190° C).

Step 7:

Use pan/pot with a strainer basket or long handle skimmer to lower food into hot liquid. Lower food into the pot slowly. Frozen foods should be thawed to room temperature before placing in hot liquid. The temperature of liquid will drop when food is added. Adjust the flame to return to desired cooking temperature. When the desired temperature is achieved, reduce the heat to maintain temperature.
