walking or standing near cooker as splattered oil may have created a slick surface.
• Avoid bumping into cooker or boiling pot to prevent hot liquid spills or overturning cooker.
• Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping over the hose could overturn
the cooker or knock pot of hot liquid from cooker causing severe burns.
• Fully extend hose between propane tank and cooker to protect hose from contact with hot surfaces which could
create a leak. Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.

knocking pot from retaining ring.

• Should oil spill-over/boil-over occur, be sure to check that flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could
accumulate creating a highly flammable and very dangerous situation. Allow all gas to dissipate prior to
relighting cooker.
