How to Use the 9 Temperature Zones
The Namath Rapid Cooker™ has 9 cooking temperature zones—three
(3) temperature settings: high, medium, low—and three (3) adjustable heights:
high, medium, low, to account for 9 different zones of heat! With this fully
customizable range, you can get the perfect “steak house char” by searing
your meat on the “High-High” setting or warm food and melt cheeses on
the “Low-Low” setting. Please see the chart below for some general
cooking suggestions:
Always preheat your Namath Rapid Cooker
™
on “High-High”
for 3-5 minutes prior to cooking.
Cooking times will vary depending on the weight, size and thickness of
the product being cooked. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry,
seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness,
especially if you have a medical condition.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
• Keep openings of valves and cylinder clear and free
from debris.
• Check for leaks.*
• Keep hoses away from hot surfaces.
• Hose (sold separately) must not be pinched
or kinked to allow for free transfer of gas.
• Do not store spare gas cylinders or other fl ammable
liquids or gases near or around the appliance.**
• Do not use the cooker within 2 feet of anything
that may be combustible.
• Only use this appliance outdoors in well-ventilated
areas. It should not be used in any confi ned or enclosed
areas including breezeways, alcoves, and garages.
• It is not intended for use in boats or recreational
vehicles.
• Do not leave the unit unattended. The entire cook box
will become HOT during use.
• Do not use unit near sparks or if it sparks.
TO IGNITE COOKER:
• Attach 1 lb. propane tank to the regulator located
on the side of the Namath Rapid Cooker™. Be sure
the liquid propane tank is fastened tightly and always
check the integrity of the tank prior to connecting.
If using a connector hose for a larger liquid propane
tank, be sure that the attachments are fastened tight
at each end and turn on the large tank fi rst to allow
the propane to travel through the connector hose.
Always read safety instructions and product warnings
prior to use.
• Never lean over the cooking unit.
• Depress knob and turn counter-clockwise
to the LIGHTING POSITION.
STORAGE
• The gas must be turned off at the liquid propane
cylinder when the cooker is not in use.***
• Disconnect the gas fully from the appliance
whenever storing indoors.
• Store liquid propane cylinder separate from
cooker in a well-ventilated outdoor space.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN
HOW TO CHECK FOR LEAKS
*
Make a soap and water solution. Apply liquid to all areas with fi ttings
or connections. Turn on the gas. DO NOT IGNITE the unit. If the soap
bubbles, you have a leak at that location. Check all connections and
repeat the steps above. You should repeat this check each time you
disconnect anything with a fi tting.
ALWAYS FOLLOW GUIDELINES PROVIDED
**
BY YOUR TANK AND GAS SUPPLIERS
HOW TO CHECK THAT THE VALVES ARE OFF
***
Valves are shipped in the off position.
Always check that they are turned off
before using. Check by pushing down
on the black knob and turning in a
clockwise direction. If the knob
does not turn in a clockwise
motion when it is depressed
it is off.
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE OPENING WHILE
LIGHTING. STAND OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE UNIT
WHILE LIGHTING. IF UNIT DOES NOT IGNITE, SEE
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Page 5).
• Press the igniter button on the front of the cooker
for 2-3 seconds. You will hear a snap and a spark to
the burner and you should feel the unit warming up.
If you do not, turn off the unit and open the drawer
for 5 minutes to allow all gas and fumes to clear.
Repeat the steps.
• If this fails for a third time, make certain that your
liquid propane tank is not empty and then call
1-888-444-4134 for further instruction.
• Once you have the cooker lit, leave on HIGH
for 3-5 minutes before setting desired temperature.
TO EXTINGUISH COOKER:
• Tu rn gas off at the source.
• Depress knob and turn clockwise
to the OFF POSITION and release knob.
Make sure that the burner valve
is set to the OFF POSITION
before opening the gas valve.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
• Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
• DO NOT clean ceramic core or burner box.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads
on the outside of your cooker.
• Wash your cooker with warm soapy water, and then
rinse with clean water. Use the same steps to clean
the grease tray after removal from the cooled unit.
• Grates and internal burner tubes may be cleaned
with a stainless steel bristle wire brush. Use a soft
bristle brush for stubborn debris on the outside
of the unit to prevent scratching.
• Stainless steel cleaner may also be purchased.
For best results, always clean with the grain of
the stainless steel and use only a soft cloth.
• DO NOT use aluminum foil. Disposable trays
are available (see pg.12 to order replacements).
• Cleaning is important to avoid grease fi res.
• DO NOT use water on a grease fi re. Personal injury
may result. If a grease fi re develops, turn knob off
and disconnect Liquid Propane tank.
BATTERY INSTALLATION/
REPLACEMENT
• To replace or install the battery, fi rst unscrew the ignitor
knob on the front of the unit. Next, insert the AA lithium
battery (included), negative end fi rst.
ATTACHING REGULATOR
& PROPANE TANK
• Attach regulator to thread on right side (See Figure A)
and propane (not included) to the regulator
(See Figure B).
• All other items ship fully assembled and ready for use.

COOKING TIPS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
How to Use the 9 Temperature Zones
The Namath Rapid Cooker™ has 9 cooking temperature
zones—three (3) temperature settings: high, medium,
low—and three (3) adjustable heights: high, medium, low,
to account for 9 different zones of heat! With this fully
customizable range, you can get the perfect “steak house
char” by searing your meat on the “High-High” setting or
warm food and melt cheeses on the “Low-Low” setting.
Please see the chart below for
some general cooking suggestions:
9 ZONE TEMP
COOKING
High
Medium
Low
Always preheat your Namath Rapid Cooker™ on
“High-High” for 3-5 minutes prior to cooking.
Meats
Sear the meat, for a few minutes per side, in the “Sear”
zone to seal in the juices. After searing both sides, drop
down to the “Grill” or “Heat” zone and fl ip the meat to
achieve the desired level of doneness. For more even,
well-done cooking with less of a sear, use the lower
zones.
Vegetables
Prior to cooking, lightly oil and season the vegetables
to your liking. Cook in the “Broil” zone or “Slow Cook”
zone depending on the desired doneness and level of
crispness you prefer.
HIGHMEDIUMLOW
SearBroilCook
GrillBrownRoast
HeatSlow CookWarm/Melt
3 Heat Settings
High / Medium/Low
3 Adjustable Heights
High / Medium/Low
Sautéing
Create sautéed dishes by simply placing a metal sauté
pan into the Namath Rapid Cooker™. Do not use pans
that are made from materials other than metal. Place the
food in the pan, along with the appropriate liquids or oils.
Place the pan on the grate and adjust the Namath Rapid
Cooker™ to “Grill” (Medium-High). Monitor pan and liquids
during the cooking process. Use caution as the pan and
handle will be hot.
Other Items
The Namath Rapid Cooker™ can be used for a variety
of items; the only limit is your culinary imagination!
Use the 9 Zones to caramelize sugar on a crème brûlée
or melt cheese on French onion soup. Create a crispy
fi nish to ribs and other barbeque in the “Sear” or “Grill”
zones or use a cast-iron pan to make fajitas! The
possibilities are endless!
NOTE: Fish, vegetables, seafood, beef tips, kabobs,
sliced meat and other items can be placed directly
on the plate instead of on foil.
IMPORTANT: Cooking times will vary depending on the
weight, size and thickness of the product being cooked.
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood,
shellfi sh or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne
illness, especially if you have a medical condition.

The following information is per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
SAFE MINIMUM COOKING
TEMPERATURES
Use this chart and a food thermometer to ensure that
meat, poultry, seafood and other cooked foods reach
a safe minimum internal temperature.
REMEMBER: you can’t tell whether meat is safely
cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats
– including pork – can be pink, even when the meat has
reached a safe internal temperature.

WHY THE REST TIME
IS IMPORTANT
After you remove meat from a grill, oven, or other heat
source, allow it to rest for the specifi ed amount of time.
During the rest time, its temperature remains constant
or continues to rise, which destroys harmful germs.
