WARNING

COOKING WITH OIL OR GREASE

• This cooker does not have automatic ther

times during use.

• For frying with this cooker, do not use a cooking vessel larger than 10-quart or smaller than 12 inches diameter.

• Follow instructions contained in this manual for proper assembly and positioning of the cooker,

gas leak and thermometer test, determining proper amount of oil to use, heat-up and frying operation, cleanup and storage.

• When cooking with oil/grease, the thermometer provided must be used. Follow instructions in this

manual for proper installation and use of the thermometer.

• Cooking oil pre-heat and over-heat times can vary significantly with relatively small adjustments to

regulator, wind, ambient temperature, starting oil temperature, and type of cooking oil used.

• The maximum amount of cooking oil/grease for the supplied 10-qt. cooking vessel is 3 quarts.

This cooker can heat up 3 quarts of cooking oil/grease to 350˚F (175˚C) in 3 to 5 minutes.

• Due to varying heating and cooking times, check your thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking

oil does not exceed 400˚F (200˚C). This is an ATTENDED appliance. DO NOT leave appliance unattended while heating oil/grease, cooking food or cool down period after use.

• Do not allow cooking oil/grease to exceed 400˚F (200˚C) which is the FIRE HAZARD zone on the

thermometer. Cooking oil/grease will ignite and catch fire at 550˚F to 700˚F (287˚C to 371˚C).

• Never leave cooking vessel unattended during heat-up and cooking. Oil/grease heated above

400˚F (200˚C) will ignite and catch fire causing property damage, personal injury or death.

• DO NOT use a lid when heating or cooking with oil. Using a lid when frying greatly increases

the potential of over-heating the oil to ignition and fire.

• Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. 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.

• Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil/grease or water. Follow instructions in this manual for

establishing proper liquid levels for cooking.

• When frying with oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to

remove excess water. Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow from cooking vessel. If ice is present on the food, it means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a boil over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire and severe burns.

• Never drop food or accessories into hot liquids. Wear protective gloves and S-L-O-W-L-Y lower food

and accessories into cooking oil in order to prevent splashing or overflow. Be careful when removing food from oil. It is hot and could cause burns.

• In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking with oil, cover the

cooking vessel and immediately turn off the burner and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker or cooking vessel.

• This appliance is not for frying whole turkeys. The maximum size cooking vessel for frying with this

appliance using oil/grease is the 10 quart pot provided.

• When cooking with oil/grease, have a BC or ABC type fire extinguisher readily accessible.

• The cooking vessel remains at scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended. Allow appliance

to cool below 115˚F (45˚C) before cleaning or storing. Cool down period varies with amount of oil/grease used, wind and ambient temperature.

DANGER

IF OIL OR GREASE FIRE OCCURS

In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish Fire Department. A Type BC or ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher may in some cases contain the fire.

If a fire occurs INSIDE THE COOKING VESSEL follow these steps.

• Turn off gas supply.

• Wearing a protective glove, cover the pot with a lid. DO NOT re-open lid as the oil/grease fire could re-ignite. Allow cooking vessel to cool down to 115˚F (45˚C) before opening lid.

If a fire occurs OUTSIDE THE COOKING VESSEL follow these steps.

• Turn off the gas supply if possible.

• Wearing a protective glove, cover the pot with a lid if possible.

• Call the local Fire Department if property damage is possible.

• Attempt to extinguish using a chemical fire extinguisher specified.

• Prior to lighting the burner, check wind direction for placement of cooker DOWNWIND from

upright LP cylinder. The cooker must be DOWNWIND and least 20" away from LP cylinder to keep heat away from cylinder.

• Refer to instructions for Proper Positioning of the Cooker on page 15 in this manual.

WARNING

THERMOMETER & OIL TEMPERATURE

• This gas appliance does not have automatic ther 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.

WARNING

LP GAS CYLINDER

• Use only a 20 pound LP Gas Cylinder or smaller with a protective

• LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive.

Combustion of propane consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. Therefore, never operate an outdoor cooker appliance inside a building or confined area where ventilation may be restricted. Make sure the LP cylinder and the cooker are placed in an open area. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Never use a gas cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, erosion, leakage,

excessive rust, or other forms of visible external damage. The cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by a qualified liquid propane supplier.

• Never attach a gas cylinder, move or alter fittings while cooker is hot or in operation.

• Do not attempt to disconnect the regulator hose assembly while cooker is in operation.

• When cooker use is complete, always turn the LP cylinder valve OFF first, then turn the regulator

control valve OFF. Turning the cylinder OFF first allows remaining gas to flow out of the regulator hose assembly before the regulator control valve is turned OFF.

• DO NOT use external electrical sources with this appliance.

• Storage of this appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed

from the appliance and left outdoors. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

• The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,

with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, Propane Storage and Handling, CSA B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehciles, ANSI A119.2/NFPA 1192 and the Recreational Vehicle Code, CSA z240 RV Series.
