• Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent, car or home.
DANGER
English-2
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non­prescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble or safely operate the appliance.
• 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. Immediately call the fire department. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances contain the fire.
• 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 the appliance burners and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the appliance or cooking vessel.
• 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 has been lost or damaged, a replacement thermometer must be one specified by the appliance manufacturer.
• If the temperature exceeds 400°F (200°C) or if oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the Control Knob OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to less than 350°F (175°C) before relighting burner according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not open the lid.

CAUTION
English-3
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property damage.
DANGER
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other igni­tion sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition sources including match­es, lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many feet away from the original leak. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane tank while out­door fryer is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or while outdoor fryer is hot to touch.
• During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Never use the fryer in spaces that contain or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.
• Minimum distance shall be at least 10 ft (3 m) from any structure or combustible material.
• Do not use gas fryer on or under any apartment, or condominium balcony or deck.
• Do not use under overhead unprotected combustible construction.
• Provide adequate clearances around air open­ings into the combustion chamber.
• DO NOT use gas fryer indoors or in garages, breezeways, sheds or enclosed areas.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
DANGER
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This fryer is a combustion appliance. All com­bustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warn­ings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the fryer.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death.You can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisi­ble killer. If these symptoms are present dur­ing operation of this product get fresh air
immediately!
For outdoor use only. If stored indoors, detach cylinder outdoors.
Never use inside house, camper, tent, vehi­cle or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This fryer consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
• Only cylinders marked “propane” must be used.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in compli­ance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane and disconnect cylinder when not in use.
• Cylinders must be stored out of reach of children.

Cooking Tips
CAUTION
Hot Steam is produced during cooking and will
escape from the filter vent during normal operation. Keep your face and hands away from the escaping hot steam.
Hot Oil will tend to splatter when the lid is
open. Wear protective clothing on exposed skin to help prevent injury.
To Turn Off
Fig. 21
Turn off control knob (Fig. 21).
For information about suggested cooking time
and temperature, check the package of the food to be fried.
The temperature is manually controlled.
Continuously monitor the thermometer. Use the
control knob to keep the oil temperature in the desired cooking range.
Never overfill the food basket. Overfilling can
cause the temperature to drop below the optimal frying temperature. Maintaining the oil at the recommended temperature will help produce foods that are light and crispy.
The lid must be raised in order to remove the
fryer basket from the oil.
Raise the fryer basket and engage it in the
upper position above and out of the oil after frying. This will allow excess cooking oil to drain back into the oil reservoir before placing the food on a serving plate (Fig. 22).
Fig. 22
NOTE: If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait 5 minutes before relighting the appliance.
If your unit displays a poor flame or will not ignite, the burner may have a blockage due to dirt or an insect nest. Firmly pull the burner upward to remove (Fig. 19).

Clean blockage from the Venturi
Inspect and clean the venturi (Fig. 20).
Inspect and clean the burner.
Replace the burner by aligning the burner
onto the venturi and firmly pushing back into place. An audible “click” will indicate that the snap ring is properly engaged. NOTE: The burner will assemble in place only when it is properly aligned with the notches in the venturi.
