USING YOUR KING KOOKER
®
PRODUCT
INTRODUCTION
Your new King Kooker
® Outdoor Cooker is equipped with the SmartFryer
TM
gas shut-off system. This system helps prevent the overheating of cooking oil
and fires which could result, by stopping the gas flow to the appliance. The pot
contains a high temperature probe that senses when the oil temperature is too
high. The system then stops gas flow to the appliance.
To operate your new cooker, the pot must be properly placed and plugged into
the burner system as per the assembly instructions in this manual.
The system will also stop gas flow in the event the flame blows out, preventing a
dangerous build up of gas that could ignite.
The gas shut-off system is NOT a replacement for proper monitoring. 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 OR BURN HAZARD
WHICH COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
