READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING YOUR KING KOOKER® PRODUCT

INTRODUCTION

Your new King Kooker® Outdoor Cooker is equipped with a timer located on the hose/regulator (see above picture). The timer is designed to shut-off the flow of gas after a pre-set time period (approximately a 15 minute operational cycle) unless manually reset by the user. This timer and the supplied thermometer are not a substitute for attending a cooker. This timer/hose/regulator assembly should ONLY be used on this King Kooker® Outdoor Cooker with the pot provided containing oil or water in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Follow all instructions and warnings contained in this manual for proper assembly and use of this product.

IMPORTANT: The timer is NOT a replacement for proper monitoring and will not measure or control the temperature of the cooking liquid within the pot. Your cooker must always be attended while in use and monitored after use while still hot [100°F (38°C)]. The oil in the pot can overheat quickly if left unattended. The thermometer supplied with this appliance must always be used to monitor the temperature of the cooking liquid.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD

RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON MONOXIDE

POISONING WHICH COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The timer requires two “AAA” alkaline batteries (not included) for operation.

Follow the below instructions for proper installation.

1. Always disconnect regulator from the propane tank before installing or removing batteries.

2. Locate battery cover on timer. Press and slide battery cover off as shown.

3. Install two “AAA” alkaline batteries. Match positive (+) and negative (-) symbols located on the case and batteries to insure proper installation.

4. Replace the battery cover.

5. If the red “Low Battery” light becomes lit during use the batteries need to be replaced. Repeat the above steps to remove and replace batteries.

BATTERY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

1. Always read and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Keep batteries away from small children. If battery is swallowed consult a physician immediately.

3. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Dispose of batteries safely, following guidelines for your area.

4. Install batteries correctly according to the “Battery Installation” directions above. Improperly installed batteries may result in leaks and/or possible explosion.

5. Remove batteries from product after each use. NOTE: Batteries which are not removed from this device will eventually corrode and leak and may cause the timer to malfunction. If the batteries were not removed and/or if the unit has been stored outdoors, test the timer for proper operation. Follow instruction number 5 in the

Lighting and Operating Instructions section on page 16 of this manual, with the cylinder valve closed. The green light (steady for 10 minutes and blinking for a further 5 minutes)

will then go off showing that the timer is operating properly and you may proceed to use the cooker in accordance to the warnings and instructions in this manual.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN

FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH

COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
