LP. TANK REQUIREMENT
The LP tank must meet the following requirements in order to be used with your appliance:

• A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your L.P. supplier.

• Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.

• Measurements must be 12″ (30.5 cm) in diameter by 18″ (45.7 cm) high with 20 lb. (9.1 kg) maximum capacity.

• The LP gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada (CAN/CSA-8339), Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

• QCC Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or appliance.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
  This safety device is identified as the triangular hand wheel. Only use tanks equipped with this type of valve.

• LP tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar that protects the LP tank valve.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP)

• LP gas is odorless, non-toxic, and colorless when produced. For your safety, LP gas has been given an artificial odor (similar to rotten eggs) so you can smell if there is any leakage.
• LP gas is highly flammable and can unexpectedly ignite when combined with the air.

The LP tank must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright, secure position. LP tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly.

Inspect the Tank

• Leak test must be repeated each time the LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
• Inspect the tank valve, including the internal rubber seal for damage or debris. If damaged, return tank to local retailer.
• DO NOT smoke or have anything nearby that can easily ignite, such as lighters or matches.
• DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• The appliance must be leak checked outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.

REMOVE any pots or other cookware from the burner before beginning the test.

CONNECTING REGULATOR TO LP TANK:

1. Place the LP tank on a secure, level, and stable surface.
2. Turn control knob to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning the hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve. HINT: Always use the cap and strap supplied with the valve. DO NOT use a POL transport plug. It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.
5. Hold the regulator, insert the nipple into the LP tank valve. Hand tighten the coupling nut while holding the regulator in a straight line with the LP tank valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check.

HINT: An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete.
NOTE: If you cannot complete the connection, repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, DO NOT use this regulator.

WARNING
Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the tank. The fuel system in your appliance features factory- made connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
Recommends performing a thorough leak check after assembly, as well as annually. The following fittings should be tested:

• Where the regulator connects to the tank.
• Where the gas hose connects to the bulkhead.

Leak Testing

Note: Remove all packaging, including straps, before using the appliance

1. Wet fittings with a soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.
2. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF” position, and turn on the gas supply.
3. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator and supply valve up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact customer service.
7. If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete: Turn gas supply off at the tank and rinse connections with water.

NOTE : Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the appliance. Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the appliance until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the LP tank valve.
If bubbles continue presenting, IMMEDIATELY move away from the LP tank and contact the FIRE DEPARTMENT (e.g. 911 ).

Turning the gas supply off
Turn all knobs to the OFF position, and turn LP tank OFF by turning the hand- wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Disconnecting Regulator to the LP Tank

1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the tank valve off fully (turn clockwise to stop).
3. Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise to loosen the connector. Loosen by hand only. Do not use tools.
4. When disconnected, the regulator should be hung on the hook attached to the appliance.

DANGER

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking gas may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
• Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper or trailer or motor home.
• The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be the one used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not use the appliance until leak checked.
• If leak is detected at any time, STOP.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close the LP tank valve, move away from the appliance, and call the LP gas supplier or the fire department!
• Turn off the gas supply cylinder when not in use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIGHTING BURNER:

1. Read all instructions before lighting.
2. Confirm that the regulator control knob and LP tank valve are completely closed and inthe OFF position.
3. Open the LP tank valve fully by turning counterclockwise.
4. DO NOT stand with head or arms over the burner. Using a long ignited match (fireplace match) or a flame lighter, place flame directly over the burner. If using ashorVpaper bookmatch, first place the unlit match into the match holder whichis attached by a chain to the stand, then light the match. Slowly turn on the regulator control knob clockwise until burner is lit.
5. When the burner is lit, turn the regulator control knob to the desired heat outputposition between ON and OFF.
6. If the burner does not ignite in 5 seconds, turn the regulator and the LP cylinder valves to OFF position. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to be cleared and repeat above procedure.

Burner Flame Check
Light the burner and adjust the flame with the regulator control valve until the desired flame is achieved. Always check the flame prior to each use. A blue flame with little or no yellow flame provides the best heat.

CAUTION:Beware of Flashback

CAUTION : Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nest in the appliance burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your appliance and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common cause. To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your appliance , and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active.
Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your appliance has not been used for an extended period of time. A clogged tube can be lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Clean burner to remove spiders, insect nests and other debris.

1. Disconnect regulator hose assembly from burner and remove air control shutter.
2. Disconnect retaining nut from burner support .bar, then remove burner from frame. Loosen and disconnect central bolt from burner and remove flame spreader from burner cup.
3. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through the burner tube. Push the bottle brush or bent wire back and forth through the burner tube.
4. Hold the burner with the tube facing down and spray water until water flows freely out of the burner tube.

Operating Instructions

1. Insure that the appliance is properly assembled, connected to propane cylinder and regulator valve turned to closed position.

2. Position the appliance on level ground in a well ventilated location, at least 10-ft from combustible materials, tree branches, buildings and overhangs. Propane cylinder should be positioned upwind from appliance so the heat of appliance does not reach cylinder.

3. Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks and proper routing before each use.
   Hose should be positioned at least 3 inches away from hot surfaces.

4. Leak check all gas connections on regulator hose assembly, LP cylinder valve and weld seams.

5. Light the appliance as per the instructions.

6. Use extreme care when lowering food and utensils into and removing from hot liquid.

7. When cooking is completed, turn off gas to the appliance. Follow Disconnecting Instructions in this manual.

8. Follow General Maintenance and Storage Instructions on page 9.

Frying Instructions

1. Pour peanut oil into pot and attach thermometer to the top edge, making sure the stem of the thermometer is in the oil at least one inch … very important!

2. Following instructions, light the gas cooker and set at a low flame.
   NOTE : Never place an empty aluminum pot on a lit cooker. A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot.

3. Carefully place the pot on the cooker and adjust the flame higher.

4. Heat oil to 325°F- 350°F(160°C-177° C). Optimum frying temperature is 350°F(177° C).

5. When oil reaches 350°F(177°C), turn off the appliance.

6. Attach grab hook to the top loop of the rack. Wearing gloves, very slowly & carefully lower poultry into pot. It may take 60-90 seconds to completely lower poultry into the oil !
   WARNING : Do not drop the turkey into the oil!
   This could cause a boil-over resulting in a serious grease fire! Remember … slowly … lower the poultry into the oil. After turkey is completely in the oil, remove grab hook from rack.

7. Inserting the poultry will reduce the temperature of
   the oil. Re-ignite the appliance when the oil temperature drops to 176°F(80°C) the appliance. Adjusting the regulator valve and slowly increase the heat so that the temperature of the oil will come back to 325°F – 350°F(160°C-177°C). This will take several minutes. Monitor the thermometer to maintain this temperature.

8. Fry turkey for 3 to 3.5 minutes per pound or until golden brown. (Ex: a 15 pound turkey will take between 45 and 50 minutes to cook.) Turkeys over 18 pounds typically take 60 minutes.

Note : Cooking time begins when poultry is completely inserted into the pot.

WARNING

• Do Not insert frozen or partially frozen poultry into hot oil! When frying with oil/grease, all food MUST be completely THAWED, and towel DRIED before being immersed in the fryer.
• Introduction of water or ice from any source into the oil/grease may cause overflow and severe burns from hot oil and water splatter. therefore, we recommended wearing gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, shoes and safety goggles.
• Do Not DROP poultry into the hot oil!
• Cooking must be monitored at all times. Do not permit cooking temperature to exceed 350″F(177° C).
• Do Not leave pot and cooker unattended!Always monitor the thermometer!
• Always test thermometer prior to cooking!
• Do Not use lid when frying. Use lid only when the pot is being used for other types of cooking such as boiling soups, stews, gumbos; or steaming vegetables and seafood.
• Allow 2 hours for the oil to cool down before handling or cleanup.

DANGER
Never allow oil or grease to get hotter than 350°F or 177°C, If the temperature exceeds 350°F (177°C} or if oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner or gas supply OFF.

DANGER
Never attempt to lift a brew kettle pot filled with water, even cold water. Lifting a pot filled with liquid can result in serious back and bodily injuries; or splashing of hot liquids can result in serious burns. The handles are designed for carrying empty pots.
Although handles are welded to the pot, the attachment could be weakened over time due to bumping during shipment or movement from storage. Use a pump or gravity siphon to transfer liquids from one pot to the other.
Never attempt pouring hot liquid from one pot to the other. Failure to follow this instruction could result in serious burns and bodily injury.

Allow the appliance to fully cool down (1 15 °F or 46 °C) before performing any cleaning.
Correct care and maintenance will keep your appliance operating smoothly. Clean regularly as determined by the amount of use.
NOTE: Clean the entire appliance each year and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2 times a year or more depending on usage). Cleaning should be done using detergents that won’t harm the patio, lawn, or the environment.

STEPS FOR CLEANING THE BURNER

1. Remove the Burner assembly from the burner.
2. Look inside the burner tube for insect nests, webs, or mud.
3. To remove the above obstructions, use a flexible venturi brush or bend a small hook on one end of a long flexible wire.
4. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
5. Reattach the Regulator connector to the burner. Clean all cooking surfaces of vessels, aluminum pots, and pans with warm, soapy water and a nylon cleaning pad regularly.

Suggested Cleaning Materials:

• Mild dish washing liquid detergent.
• Nylon cleaning brush pad
• Hot water
• Paper towel

Polish Aluminum Pots

1. It is recommended to season the pot before use. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil inside and spread it with a paper towel until the entire bottom and sides are coated. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Wash out the interior of the pot, it will be ready to use. DO NOT apply to flame during any of this process.
2. After cooking, let pots and lids cool down gradually. Do not pour cold water into a hot pot. This will cause the bottom of the pot to warp. Always wash the pots thoroughly in hot, soapy detergent after each use to remove all traces of food, salt, or grease particles that may burn causing stains when the pan is reheated.
3. Seasoning the pots will make cleaning easier. Scouring pads and aluminum cleaners can be used to clean the interior of the pots but will scratch the exterior.
4. Polished aluminum pots will tarnish and discolor with normal use.
5. Boiling with large quantities of salt is very corrosive and can cause pits in the pot and basket. To reduce the chance of this occurring, do not allow salt water to remain in the pot for a long period of time after the pot has cooled.
   • The basket and pot should be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
   • DO NOT store cooking oil inside the pots.
   • Salt and seasonings will settle and can cause pits to form at the bottom of the pots.

Troubleshooting Guide

CAUTION

• If the burners go out during use, close the gas supply at cylinder, and turn off all gas valves. Wait for 5 minutes before attempting to re-light (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
• In case of a grease fire, close the gas supply at cylinder, turn off all burners until the fire is out.
• DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while the appliance is being used. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will ensure your appliance is in top operating condition and will prolong its life.
