THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
DEEP FRYING WITH OUTDOOR COOKERS
1. Always use a deep fry thermometer when using this appliance as a fryer/boiler. a. Before each use of the appliance make sure that the thermometer is properly calibrated by placing the tip in a pot of boiling water. The thermometer should register within +/-20° of 212°F or +/-10° of 100°C. If the thermometer is miscalibrated, contact Metal Fusion, Inc. to obtain a replacement before using the appliance. b. Hang the thermometer on the inside of the pot with the probe immersed in the cooking liquid. Never place a lid over a pot when monitoring the temperature of oil. c. Once the fire has been lit monitor the temperature on the thermometer at all times. Water boils at 212°F(100°C). The temperature of hot oil should never be allowed to exceed 350°F(177°C). IMPORTANT: Oil can ignite at high temperatures. Most King Kooker® thermometers have a Red Zone above
350°F(177°C) to signify Danger. Never allow the temperature to exceed 350°F(177°C). If the temperature goes above 350°F(177°C) immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to below 350°F(177°C) before relighting according to instructions in the manual. If at any point during the cooking process the oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF regardless of the reading on the thermometer.
Allow time for the oil to cool, then contact Metal Fusion, Inc. for further instructions. d. When the cooking is complete and the cooker has been turned off, allow the temperature of the oil to fall below 100°F(38°C) before moving the pot, cooking oil, or cooker. e. Please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 with any questions concerning the use or operation of the thermometer.
2. Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.
3. Always thaw and dry food completely before placing it into hot oil. Frozen or wet food may cause oil or grease to
overflow.
4. Never put an empty pot over an open flame.
5. In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil/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.
6. When cooking with oil or grease, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the event of an oil or grease
fire do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately call your Fire Department. A Type BC or Type ABC fire
extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
7. This appliance is not for frying turkeys.

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.
14
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that your control knobs are set to not allow gas flow. Push in and turn the control knobs clockwise until they stop. This is the OFF position.
2. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve by turning the Type 1 fitting clockwise. Refer to the assembly diagram for the appliance below.
3. Perform the Leak Test:
4. Before lighting the cooker, check that the venturi tube is free of obstruction and that the orifice(s) located on the valve(s) is properly threaded into the venturi tube. Both situations must be corrected if necessary before lighting to prevent flashback.
LEAK TEST
Before lighting the appliance, a thorough leak test must be satisfactorily completed using a non­ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). This is to be applied with a small brush to all gas joints after the cylinder valve is opened (no more than 1/2 turn). If bubbles are seen, indicating a leak, turn off the cylinder and tighten the leaking connection until a further leak test shows no leaks. If tightening the connection does not stop the leak, call Metal Fusion, Inc. (800) 783-3885, for assistance.
NEVER USE HOSE/REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IF LEAKING.

PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never operate this appliance within 10 ft. (3.05m) of any structure, combustible material or other gas cylinder. Never operate this appliance within 25 ft. (7.5m) of any flammable liquids or vapors.
2. There must be no combustibles or roof overhead.
3. Keep 24” (.61m) of space between the LP gas cylinder and the appliance.
4. The LP gas cylinder and appliance must be located so that any wind is blowing the heat of the appliance away from the propane cylinder. This also helps fire prevention by blowing the flames of a grease fire away from the propane cylinder.
5. Center the pot over the burner on the cooker. If using the griddle, ALWAYS follow the installation instructions located on page 11. When cooking with a pot(s), do not install the griddle.
Do NOT use any pot larger than the recommended size for your cooker as listed below:
Model # Maximum Pot Size Pot - Height/Diameter
CSR2G 22qts. (20.82 L) 11.5”H (29.21 cm) X 12.5”D (31.75 cm)
(When cooking with a pot(s), do not install the griddle.)
Keep twenty-four inches between the cylinder and the appliance. Placing the cylinder too close to the appliance could result in fire or explosion which could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
The hose connecting the appliance to the tank poses a trip hazard. Do not step over the hose or walk between the cylinder and appliance. Tripping could cause the appliance or cylinder to tip over, leading to fire or explosion which could cause property damage, personal injury or death.

LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE COOKER MUST NOT BE LIT UNTIL THE PRECEDING
PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FOLLOWED.
*Your model has multiple control knobs that work independently. Follow below instructions for each control knob and casting.
1. Check the cooker to make sure that it is set up as per the diagram (Figure 1).
2. Make certain the control knobs are turned to the “OFF” position by turning them clockwise until they reach the stop position.
3. Open the cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 2).
4. Place a lit multi-purpose lighter or paperbook match through the hole on the face panel as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Turn the control knob toward the “ON” position until ignition occurs. Turning the control knob counterclockwise increases the gas flow to the burner and hence the flame size (Figure 5).
When lighting the cooker, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the control knob and
cylinder valve off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
5. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting (Figure 6). If not, rotate the air shutter position until there is a blue flame. Opening the shutter too much will cause the flame to “Lift” off the burner.
If there is a yellow flame, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be an
obstruction in the venturi tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on pages 18-19 for more information regarding a yellow flame.
6. Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the control knob(s) and cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse and relight the cooker according to the lighting instructions (#1 - #5) in this section.

MAINTENANCE OF OUTDOOR COOKERS AND ACCESSORIES
1. The area where the cooker will be used must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Before each use of the cooker inspect and remove any combustible items.
2. The flow of combustion and ventilation of air must not be obstructed. The cooker must be set in an open area with 10 ft. (3.05m) of space on all sides and no roof or overhang overhead. Check the location and placement of the cooker before each use.
3. Before each use of the appliance check the burner/venturi tube for insects, insect nests, and other obstructions. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
4. Follow all Lighting Instructions in the Use and Care Manual each time the cooker is used. Check the flame for proper color and appearance. The flame should burn with a primarily blue color. If a strong yellow flame is present, this could indicate an obstruction in the burner/venturi tube.
If there is any obstruction or a yellow flame, and the air shutter adjustment has not solved the
problem, turn off the cooker and allow time for it to cool. Use a wire such as a coat hanger and insert it through the opening of the air shutter and into the venturi tube of the burner to remove any blockage. Light the cooker again as per the instruction manual. If this does not resolve the problem, please proceed to instruction #5 for futher directions.

5. To check for possible blockages in the casting(s), follow the directions for your model below:
The gas handling components of your cooker (castings/manifold) have been pre-assembled for your
conveniance. Use care when following the below directions as gas handling components can easily be damaged if mishandled.
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the nut connecting the casting to the flat bar bracket which is
welded to the shroud. Carefully pull the casting away from the valve stem on the back side of the face
panel. The valve stem, which contains the orifice, is pre-installed into the casting’s venturi tube. Check
the venturi tube with a flashlight to see if there is a blockage. If a blockage is present use a wire such as a coat hanger to slide into the venturi tube to remove the blockage. Once the blockage has been removed, reassemble by carefully sliding the casting’s venturi onto the valve stem (with orifice.) Make sure valve stem is inserted fully into the venturi. Re-attach the casting to the flat bar bracket welded to the the windshroud. Tighten with supplied nut. Light the cooker again as per the instruction manual. If this does not resolve the problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885.
6. Always use the LP Hose/Regulator assembly supplied with the appliance. Before each use of the appliance check the LP Hose for evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks. If there is any damage to the hose, the hose/regulator assembly must be replaced prior to using the appliance. Contact Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 for information regarding a replacement hose assembly. Only the LP Hose/Regulator assembly specified by Metal Fusion, Inc. should be used with the appliance.
7. For purchase of any replacement parts which may have become damaged or lost, please contact Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm (CST) Monday through Friday.
8. Cleaning of the appliance:
Cooker and LP Hose/Regulator: If neccessary, remove any oil or liquid which has spilled onto the unit during cooking with mild soapy water on a rag and towel dry. Do not immerse the burner unit or hose and regulator into water as this will cause rust. Aluminum or Stainless Steel Pots: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 21. Cast Iron Cookware: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 21. Thermometer: Clean after each use with mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not submerge in liquid or put in dishwasher. Griddle: Clean according to the directions on page 20.
Page 20
The steel griddle included in your package needs to be cleaned before initial use. After each use of the steel griddle it also needs to be cleaned and properly stored to prevent rusting. Follow the below instructions for proper care and cleaning of your steel griddle.
PREPARING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE Your steel griddle needs to be cleaned before using it to cook for the first time as it has been
covered with a resin to keep the metal from rusting. Wash with a dish washing liquid and towel dry thoroughly. Do not let your steel griddle air dry, as this can promote rust. Once washed and dried thoroughly, the steel griddle must be seasoned using cooking oil.
SEASONING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE Apply a thin, even coating of MELTED solid vegetable shortening, or cooking oil of your
choice, to the clean steel griddle, inside and out. The steel griddle must then be heated using the outdoor cooker approved for use with the steel griddle. Place the steel griddle onto the cooker frame and light according to the instructions provided in the cooker manual. Heat steel griddle for a few minutes until its entire surface is hot. Turn off the heat and let the steel griddle cool to room tempera­ture. Remove any excess grease from the cooking surface and channel of the steel griddle with a paper towel. Reapply a thin layer of MELTED solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil to the steel griddle and repeat the heating/cooling process. This cycle may need to be repeated a few times. Make sure to wipe off excess grease that tends to collect on the cooking surface/channel of the steel griddle before reheating to prevent a thick, gel-like coating from forming. After several coats of oil have been burned into the steel griddle, its surface will develop a tacky, oily surface and will be ready for cooking.
WARNING: The steel griddle will become very hot on the cooker. NEVER attempt to
move the griddle and appliance until it has completely cooled [
100° F (38°C]
.
USING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE
Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly. Before cooking, apply vegetable oil to the cooking surface of your steel griddle and pre-heat the steel griddle slowly (always start on low heat, increasing the temperature slowly). Once the steel griddle is properly pre-heated, you are ready to cook. Tip: Avoid cooking very cold food in the steel griddle, as this can promote sticking.
CLEANING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE AFTER COOKING Once the steel griddle has cooled from cooking, rinse with hot water (do not use soap.) Avoid
putting a hot griddle into cold water. Thermal shock can occur causing the metal to warp or crack. Do not wipe with a towel after rinsing. Dry the steel griddle over the burner set on high heat. Carefully brush in a thin coating of melted vegetable shortening or cooking oil onto the cooking surface of the steel griddle, letting it burn thoroughly into the metal. Turn off the heat source and let the steel griddle cool completely. Wipe off any excess grease and then store the steel griddle in a dry area for its next use. NEVER wash in dishwasher.
If for some reason your steel griddle develops rust spots or a metallic smell or taste, scour off the rust using a very fine grade of sandpaper or steel wool. Once rust is removed, follow the above instructions for seasoning your steel griddle again.

STEEL GRIDDLE USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Page 21
NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL POT ON A LIT COOKER. A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot. Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may occur with the use of pots on outdoor cookers. This does not affect the performance of the pot.
Do not store used oil inside your aluminum pot. The salt used in cooking can corrode the pot causing the pot to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water and rinse.
SEASONING & CARE OF CAST IRON COOKWARE
New Cast Iron Pots are coated with paraffin to prevent rusting. Before using for the first time, wash with mild soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive detergents. Grease the entire surface of the cookware with a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening. Do not use salted fat (margarine or butter). Heat for 30-60 minutes in oven at 300-350°F (149-177°C). Remove from oven, pour out excess grease, and wipe with a paper towel. This completes the seasoning process. Each time the cast iron is used, coat the entire surface with a thin coat of solid vegetable shortening, wipe with a paper towel, and store.

TIPS FOR CARING FOR
ALUMINUM FRY PANS AND BOILING POTS
It is not necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them. Wash with a liquid dish washing detergent and towel dry.
After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. If grease or black soot has cooked to the outside of the pot while cooking with your outdoor cooker, scrub the outside of the pot with a steel wool scouring pad.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER ON ALUMINUM POTS TO REMOVE GREASE OR SOOT. OVEN CLEANER WILL CAUSE THE FINISH TO BECOME DULL.
If food remains stuck in the pan after cooking, add hot water and let soak. Then scrub the pan with soap and steel wool to loosen the food.
If hard water causes darkening on the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the darkened area with a water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed with the concentration of three cups of water to one tablespoon cream of tartar, or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.
INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
A good liquid vegetable oil must be used for deep frying.
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:
After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles before storing in original container or similar sturdy plastic or glass container. This can be accomplished by using filter paper (coffee filters) or a clean cloth (dishtowel). Never pour hot oil into a container. For best results store oil in a cool place. It can be reused within 30 days. Discard after second use or when the flavor of reheated oil becomes objectionable to taste.
Helpful Hint: Try frying a batch of french fried potatoes after cooking. This aids in improving the flavor of the oil for the next use.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTED RECIPES (USING YOUR COOKER WITHOUT THE GRIDDLE)
Boiled Seafood
The King Kooker® Way!
For a 22 quart pot, fill 1/2 full of water. Add 1 to 2, 16 ounce King Kooker® Complete Crab Shrimp, Crawfish Boil (complete, nothing to add). Bring water to a rolling boil. Add seafood. Gently stir. Cover the pot and return to boil. Boiling times: Shrimp
- 2 minutes; Crawfish - 5 minutes; Crabs - 5 minutes. Cut off the fire. Gently stir the seafood again and let it soak. Add 1/2 of one 8 ounce King Kooker® Liquid Crab Boil. Soaking time: Shrimp - 15 to 20 minutes; Crawfish and Crabs - 15 to 20 minutes.
Seafoods tend to float on the surface while soaking. On the surface they do not thoroughly absorb the seasoning. Add the equivalent of one tray of ice to the pot, allowing it to float on the surface of the liquid. This sudden change of temperature causes the seafood to sink and to draw in the great flavor of King Kooker® seasoning.
A Little Extra
To complement your seafood, try including a few creamer potatoes, a few ears of corn, fresh mushrooms, two or three cloves of garlic, fresh peeled onions, hot dogs, smoked sausage or andouille sausage.
Hint: Allow potatoes extra cooking time by adding them to the boiling seasoned water 5 to 10 minutes before adding the seafood.
Page 24

Blackened Fish
Heat a cast iron skillet for at least ten minutes on your King Kooker®.
Allow the skillet to get almost white hot -- hot enough to see the “flame circle” in the center of the skillet. This recipe produces lots of smoke.
Fish fillets should be 1/2” (1.25 cm) thick for best results. Dip fillets in melted butter or margarine
and shake King Kooker® Blackened Redfish Seasoning on both sides of fillets. Drop into the skillet and cook for 45 seconds on each side. Serve piping hot.
Barbecue Shrimp
Ingredients: 2 lbs. large shrimp, 1 stick butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons King Kooker® Blackened Redfish Seasoning.
Melt butter over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients. Add seasonings and shrimp. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Shrimp are ready when they are a pretty pink color.
King Kooker® Beans
Ingredients: 2 - 64 oz. cans of Pork & Beans, 2 - large white finely chopped onions, 1 bell pepper finely chopped, 1 - bunch of shallots finely chopped, 1/2 bunch of celery finely chopped, 1 lb. ground meat, 1 lb. sliced bacon, 1 lb. light brown sugar, 1 -8 oz. bottle of honey, 1 - King Kooker® Gourmet Barbecue Sauce, 3 oz. King Kooker® Cajun Seasoning, Olive Oil for sauteing seasonings. Directions: Brown off the ground meat. Drain off and dispose of the fat. Set aside the ground meat. Cut the bacon into thirds. Fry the bacon. Drain off and dispose of the fat. Set aside the bacon. Pour a few ounces of olive oil into the pot. Place the onion, bell pepper, shallots and celery into the olive oil.
Saute until the onions are clear. Add all remaining ingredients, including meat and bacon.
Stir, cover and cook for sixty minutes over low heat. Stir often during cooking to prevent sticking.

Makes approximately 32 servings.
Fried Seafood
Wash and drain seafood. Remove any excess moisture. This will reduce splashing and popping in hot oil. Thoroughly coat seafood with King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry. Place in oil or shortening at 325 - 350°F (163- 177°C) and cook until golden brown on all sides. Heavier breading may be obtained by dipping seafood in a mixture of egg and milk before coating with seasoned fish fry.
Fried Chicken
Ingredients: Chicken, oil, milk, eggs, King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry, skillet or aluminum pot.
Cut, wash and drain chicken pieces. Dip pieces into a mixture of beaten egg and milk. Coat with King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry. Heat oil to 350°F (177°C). Place chicken into oil and cook until done. Cooking outdoors with a large skillet allows for larger quantities to be prepared in less time.
Page 26
Fried Onion Rings
Ingredients: Colossal onions (if available), 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup milk, flour, King
Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry.
Cut onions into rings, wash and drain. Blend eggs and milk in a bowl for dipping. Dip each onion ring into egg and milk mixture, then into flour. Dip onion ring again in the
egg and milk mixture, then coat with King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry.
Heat oil to 350°F (177
°C)
. Drop onion rings one at a time into the heated oil. When the rings float to
the top, remove from oil. Serve warm.
Fried Mushrooms
Ingredients: Mushrooms, water, oil, King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry.
Slice mushrooms 1/8” (.32cm) thick and submerge in water to wet the slices. Coat
slices thoroughly with King Kooker® Seasoned Fish Fry. Heat oil to 350°F (177
°C)
. Place the mushroom slices into heated oil. When the mushroom slices float to the top, remove from oil. Serve warm.
King Kooker® Wings
Ingredients: 3-5 lb. thawed and dried wings, King Kooker® Cajun Seasoning, cooking oil, King
Kooker® Wing Sauce of flavor of choice.
Heat the cooking oil to 325°F (163°C). Coat the wings with King Kooker®
Cajun Seasoning. Place some of the wings carefully into the heated cooking oil. Cook until the wings float and appear done. Remove the batch from the grease carefully with a skimmer long enough to keep hands away from hot oil. Check a wing for doneness. If done, add a few more wings to cook the next
batch. Always monitor the temperature of the oil to keep it at 325°F (163°C).
After removing the wings from the oil, dip them into the wing sauce of choice.
Steamed Clams or Mussels
Clean clams thoroughly in cold water, scrubbing with a brush. Discard any that float. Place clams on steamer plate in basket. Pour enough water into pot to come up to bottom of steamer rack when in pot. Bring water to a boil and cover. The clams are cooked when the shells open. Any shells which do not open should be discarded. Remove from heat. Too much cooking will toughen the clams. Serve with drawn or melted butter.
Steamed Blue Crabs, Shrimp, or Lobsters
Place water in the pot up to the bottom of the steaming plate. You can replace one half of a gallon of the water with 1/2 gallon of vinegar if you would like. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of steamer seasoning and 3 tablespoons salt to water/vinegar mixture. Place the steamer rack into the pot and layer the seafood on the steamer rack, sprinkling each layer generously with steamer seasoning. Salt to taste. Cover and steam until crabs or lobsters turn red (approximately 20-25 minutes). Steam shrimp (approximately 10-15 minutes), the meat will pull away from the shell when done. For extra flavor pour two ounces of King Kooker® Liquid Crab Boil into the water/vinegar mixture. (Make sure to never allow all of the steaming liquid to evaporate. A hole will be burned into the bottom of an empty pot on a lit cooker.)
We recommend King Kooker® Complete Crab, Shrimp, Crawfish Boil to add flavor to all your
steamed seafoods and vegetables.

USING YOUR KING KOOKER® PRODUCT
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What is the problem if the cooker takes too long or will not heat oil or cooking ingredients to desired temperature? My cooker’s flame appearance is very weak.
Answer: If the hose assembly has a Type 1 Connection (black/green knob), it is equipped with a
flow limiting device. This device is intended to limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance. To achieve a positive gas seal, which will allow for maximum gas flow, the control knobs must be set to a completely OFF position before the cylinder valve is opened. A good tip to remember is “TANK IS FIRST ON, LAST OFF.”
The Problem Can Be Remedied in Two Ways:
A. 1. Turn the control knobs to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by turning
it clockwise until it stops.
2. Check that the Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) is completely tightened to the
tank valve.
3. Wait 5 seconds for the pressure to equalize and for the flow limiting device to reset.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn control knob to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for
proper flame characteristics.
OR
B. 1. Turn the control knobs to the OFF position. Close the tank valve completely by turning
it clockwise until it stops.
2. Remove Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) from the tank valve. The flow limiting
device will now reset.
3. Re-attach Type 1 Connection (black/green knob) to the tank valve. Tighten completely.
4. Turn tank valve ON (counterclockwise.)
5. Turn the control knob to an ON position.
6. Relight cooker following all lighting instructions contained in this manual. Check for
proper flame characteristics.
2. How long will the propane in my tank last?
Answer: On average, a full tank will give you 4 to 5 hours of normal cooking.
3. I have a new style tank and it won’t connect to my regulator. What do I do?
Answer: The regulator supplied with this appliance has a Type 1 Connection which will attach to
the tank valve which has large threads on the valve outlet. These connect into the large plastic handnut (black or green). This tank will also connect to earlier models of Metal Fusion cooker regulators which had a brass plug connector with left hand threads, which will connect to the internal threads of the Type 1 tank valve (with a wrench). If your tank has a quick disconnect valve (plug in type) our regulators can not connect to this tank.
4. I have a brand new cooker and I cannot get the burner to light. What’s the problem?
Answer: Make sure the tank has been filled with propane. Tanks purchased from the store shelf
are most often sold empty. If this does not solve the problem refer to Maintenance Instruction items #3, #4 and #5, pages 18-19. If you have questions please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885.
