•At 5 minutes remaining, gas flow light will blink slowly. At 2 minutes remaining gas flow light will blink quickly.

•If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn regulator control valve OFF, then turn gas cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for fumes to diminish, turn timer knob clockwise until its stops before relighting.

•If the flame is blown out wait 5 minutes for fumes to diminish before resetting timer and relighting.

•After the burner is lit, open the regulator valve until the flame increases. Use the air shutter on the burner to adjust the flame until it turns blue. Reduce flame.

•Fill Pot with water or oil. DO NOT fill pot more than 1/3 the pots full capacity. This will help avoid dangerous boil-overs. Note: DO NOT place your empty pot over the open flame. This will damage pot.

•Bring water or oil to the desired temperature by adjusting regulator control valve. Oil should never exceed 400°F (204°C). Oil will ignite at 550°F (287°C) to 700°F (371°C).

•Always use a thermometer when frying.

•After each use, first turn the regulator control valve OFF, then turn the gas cylinder OFF. Always allow fryer stand and pot with water or oil to cool completely before touching, moving, or storing.
