WARNING
•For OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use in a building, home, garage, balcony, porch, tent or any other enclosed area.
•Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Oil ignites at varying temperatures; therefore, never allow the oil to exceed 400°F (200°C) and NEVER LEAVE HEATING OIL UNATTENDED.
•Carefully monitor the temperature of the oil with the thermometer and regulate the temperature so that it does not reach the "Fire Hazard" zone on the thermometer. If necessary, turn the gas OFF to the appliance to allow the oil to cool.
•When cooking with oil or grease, the thermometer provided MUST be used. Follow instructions in this manual for proper installation and use of the thermometer. If the thermometer supplied with this fryer/boiler has been lost or damaged, a replacement thermometer must be obtained before using this fryer. Use only replacement thermometer #
•Test the thermometer before each use by inserting it into a boiling pot of water and ensure that it registers approximately 212°F +/- 20˚F (100°C +/- 10˚C). If the thermometer does not function properly, a replacement thermometer must be obtained before using this fryer. Use only replacement thermometer #

•If the temperature exceeds 400°F (200°C) or if oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner or gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to less than
350°F (175°C) before relighting burner. (See instructions on page 10 for relighting.) If there is a lid (cover), do not remove the lid as oxygen will feed a fire.
•Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Follow instructions in this manual for establishing proper oil, grease or water levels. (see page 11)
•When cooking with oil/grease, have a type BC or ABC fire extinguisher readily available. In the event of an oil/grease fire immediately call the Fire Department. Do not attempt to extinguish with water. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
•Do NOT use lid when heating or cooking with oil.
•When cooking, the fryer/boiler must be on a level, stable, noncombustible surface in an area clear of combustible material. An asphalt surface (blacktop) may not be acceptable for this purpose.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other liquid/aerosols with flammable vapors in the vicinity of this fryer.
•Do NOT operate appliance any closer than 10 feet from any combustible materials including walls or railings or under overhead construction as these materials could ignite should grease fire occur.
•Do NOT install or use in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
•In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil/grease, cover the cooking vessel immediately and turn off the appliance burner and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the appliance or cooking vessel.
•Introduction of water or ice from any source into the oil/grease may cause overflow and severe burns from hot oil and water splatter. When frying with oil/grease, all food
