WARNING

Read and understand this manual before using this product.

1. Sober adult operation ONLY! Read and understand this manual before using the product. The use
of alcohol, prescription or nonprescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble or
safely operate this appliance.

2. This cooker, like any gas appliance, can be extremely dangerous! It can burn you, scald you with
hot oil or water, or start a fire. Misuse of an outdoor cooker can result in serious personal injury
or property damage. The warnings and safety instructions in this manual must be followed to provide
reasonable safety and efficiency in using this unit.

3. 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 inside a building or confined area where ventilation
may be restricted. Make sure the LP Cylinder and the appliance is placed in an open area. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

4. Never leave cooker unattended. Most accidents occur as a result of leaving the cooker unattended.

When Frying... a cooker left unattended may eventually over heat, resulting in a serious grease fire.
When Boiling... a cooker left unattended may eventually boil over. Water can splash down on the

burner and put out the fire resulting in propane gas being released out into the cooking area.
When Steaming... a cooker left unattended may eventually evaporate all the water inside the steam
pot. If water is allowed to evaporate completely, the heat from this cooker will melt a hole into the
bottom of the pot, resulting in a loss of the pot and the food inside.

5. This is an ATTENDED appliance. Do NOT leave this appliance unattended while heating oil, grease
or water, cooking food or when hot after use [oil, grease or water above 100°F(38°C)]. Heated
liquid can remain at scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended.

6. Use ONLY on a level, stable non-combustibles surface like brick, concrete or dirt. Do NOT use this
appliance on any surface that will burn or melt like wood, asphalt, vinyl, or plastic.

7. This appliance is for OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area. Do NOT use on wooden decks, under roof overhangs, on porches, carports or at garage
door openings. This appliance is NOT intended to be installed in or on recreational vechiles and/or
boats. This appliance is not intended for and should NEVER be used as a heater.

8. Do NOT locate this appliance under ANY overhead construction. Keep a minimum clearance of
10 feet from the sides, front and back of the appliance to ANY construction. Keep the area clear
and free of any combustible material such as household chemicals, paint, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

9. Keep the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

WARNING

10. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of abrasion,

wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
Replacement hose assemblies for Bayou Classic Cookers are:
Single Burner Cookers ­and Jet Cookers - Model #5HPR-1.

11. Keep children and pets away from the appliance at all times. Avoid bumping of or impact with

the appliance to prevent spillage or splashing of hot liquid.

12. Do NOT move the appliance when in use. Allow the cooking vessel to cool to 115°F (46°C)

before moving or storing.

DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKER IS IN USE OR IS STILL HOT! (Above 100°F)

13. When cooking with oil or grease, the thermometer provided MUST be used. Follow instructions

in this manual for proper installation and use of thermometer. Follow instructions to make sure
thermometer is working properly. If the thermometer supplied with this cooker has been lost or
damaged, a replacement thermometer must be one supplied by the appliance manufacturer.

Model #5HPR & #7950, Double & Triple Burner Cookers - Model #3HPH,

14. NEVER let the oil or grease temperature get hotter than 350°F (177°C). If the temperature goes

above 400°F (200°C) or if oil begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF. Wait for the
temperature to decrease to less than 350°F (177°C) before relighting burner. If there is a lid or
cover, do not remove. After reaching 450°F (230°C), oil or grease temperature can rapidly increase
to its point of spontaneous combustion... a serious grease fire. Therefore, never leave cooker
unattended, always monitor the thermometer.

15. When cooking with oil or grease have a type BC or ABC fire extinguisher readily available. In

the event of an oil or grease fire do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Turn off the gas at the
supply cylinder. Immediately call the fire department. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in
some circumstances contain the fire.

16. NEVER overfill the cooking pot with oil, grease or water. Follow instructions in this manual for

establishing proper oil, grease or water levels.

17. Failure to completely thaw and dry food may cause oil or grease to overflow. When frying with

oil or grease, all foods products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove excess
water. Follow instructions in this manual for frying foods.

18. In the event of rain, snow, hail,sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil or grease,

cover the cooking vessel immediately and turn off burner(s) and gas supply. Do NOT attempt to
move the appliance or the cooking vessel.

19. Do NOT place an empty cooking vessel on the appliance while in operation. The intense heat will

melt an empty pot. Use caution when placing anything on the cooking vessel.

20. Never use a cooking vessel larger than the capacity and diameter recommended by the manufacturer.

Thermometer Test

Instructions for Thermometer Test

WARNING

- Always use a thermometer when frying turkeys or chickens. A thermometer is a sensitive measuring device which
may work improperly if dropped, bent, or twisted. Always check to be sure the thermometer is working properly
before cooking.

- There is a simple way to test the thermometer:

1. Insert thermometer end into boiling water.

2. While wearing protective gloves, hold the thermometer by the dial. The needle should quickly move around
the dial and register approximately 212˚F +\- 20˚F (100˚C +\- 10˚C).

This indicates the thermometer is working.

3. If the needle stops at a low temperature (i.e. 200°F); this indicates the
thermometer has been compromised and is not working properly.

If so, discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 (8am - 5pm M - F Central Time) for assistance.
Note: Do not attempt frying if the thermometer is not working!

WARNING

- Do NOT attempt frying if the thermometer is not working!

- Do NOT cover pot with a lid when frying!

- Never leave the cooker unattended when frying.

- Never allow temperature of cooking oil/grease to exceed 350°F.

- FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD CAUSE A GREASE FIRE/EXPLOSION RESULTING IN

PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR DEATH.

WARNING

- The face of the thermometer becomes very hot during use. Wear protective gloves or mitts when handling.

- Sweat or condensation from cold beverages, if allowed to drip on the glass cover, could cause it to break.

- Tip of the thermometer probe can be a puncture hazard, use caution when handling. Keep point away from
eyes, face and hands.

- Always monitor thermometer temperature during use. After reaching the temperature of the oil/grease
can rapidly increase resulting in a serious fire/explosion. Never leave the cooker unattended!

Placement of Thermometer

- Make sure clip on thermometer is at the top of the probe.

- Attach the thermometer clip on the inside of the pot with the probe
immersed in the oil at least one inch.

- Do NOT insert the probe into poultry. This is not a meat thermometer.

- Do NOT allow temperature to exceed 350°F.

- Always monitor the temperature when frying.

Remember: Think Safety & Use Common Sense!
