WARNING

THERMOMETER & OIL TEMPERATURE

This gas appliance does not have automatic thermostat controls so must be attended and monitored at all times during use.

When cooking with oil or grease, a thermometer MUST be used for reasonable temperature reading. Follow instructions for proper testing, installation and use of a thermometer on pages 18 - 19 in this manual.

Test thermometer before each use. If the thermometer does not function properly, a replacement thermometer must be obtained before frying with this cooker.

If the thermometer supplied with this appliance is not working properly, damaged or lost,

a replacement thermometer must be obtained before frying with this cooker. Use only replacement thermometer #5020. This thermometer can be obtained by contacting Barbour Interntional, Inc. at 1-800-864-6194.

Carefully monitor the temperature of cooking oil with your thermometer and regulate temperature so it does not reach the "Fire Hazard" zone on your thermometer. If necessary, turn the gas OFF to the cooker to allow the oil to cool.

Oil ignites at varying temperatures depending on type of oil used, altitude, ambient temperature and wind. Check your thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking oil does not exceed 400˚F (200˚C).

Do not allow oil or grease to exceed 400˚F (200˚C). Oil or grease will ignite and catch fire at 550˚F to 700˚F (287˚C to 371˚C). If cooking oil or grease reaches 400˚F (200˚C),

turn burner OFF. Wait for the cooking oil or grease temperature to decrease to less than 350˚F (117˚C) before relighting burner.

Regardless of thermometer reading, if the oil/grease starts to smoke, turn OFF fuel supply to the burner and STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY. This indicates the thermometer is not working properly. Discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 M-F 8am - 5pm CST for assistance. Replacement thermometer Model #5020.
