1.Make sure the regulator control valve is in “OFF” position.
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
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.
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.
5.Place pan with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows placement of a 14.5" (36.8 cm) diameter pan. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on the retaining ring of cooker.
WARNING: Before proceeding read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your cooker.
6.Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best results, use a deep fry thermometer to check oil temperature. If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to avoid igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F (190° C).
7.Use pan/pot with a cooking basket or strainer with handle to lower food into hot liquid. Lower food into the pan 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.
8.Test food for doneness using a meat thermometer after removing from hot liquid. Use caution as food will be very hot.
WARNING: Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan. Always
grip pan handle with one hand while lifting basket with the other. Failure to do so could create a situation where you pull the pan off the burner spilling the contents onto yourself or someone else. Always hang basket directly over pan as illustrated. This allows hot liquid to drip back into the pan. Hanging the basket in any other way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot liquid.
9.When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank valve OFF first, then turn the regulator control valve OFF.
