Operating / Cooking Instructions

WARNING
NEVER PUT HANDS OR FACE DIRECTLY OVER BURNER WHILE LIGHTING OR WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS LIT

Lighting Instructions

1. Check the casting to make sure it is set up as per the illustration.

2. Make certain that the regulator control is turned OFF by turning it counterclockwise until it reaches the stop.

3. Open cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram.

4. Insert a multipurpose lighter through the hole in the shroud, or use a paper book match placed above the casting. Turn the regulator control toward the ON position until ignition occurs. Turning the regulator control clockwise increases the gas pressure to the burner and hence the flame size.
   When lighting the stove, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the regulator 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. 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 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 regulator 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.

Troubleshooting Guide

Q: My burner's flame appears very weak

A: 1. Confirm gas supply: First, make sure that the gas supply is normal. Check whether the gas tank or gas pipeline is connected normally, and confirm that the gas valve is fully opened. 2. Clean the burners and nozzles: The burners and nozzles may be clogged with oil or impurities, resulting in a weak flame. Use a soft brush or a long thin needle to clean the burner and nozzle to make sure the passage is clear. 3. Check the gas regulator: Turkey pot sets usually come with a gas regulator to adjust the gas flow. Check that the regulator is set correctly to make sure the gas flow is adjusted to the proper level. 4. Adjust valve and heat control: Check the valve and heat control section of the turkey pot set. Make sure the valve is fully open and adjust the heat as needed. 5. Check the gas supply pressure: If you suspect that the gas supply pressure is insufficient, you can contact relevant professionals for inspection and adjustment. 6.Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above methods work, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or customer service department of the turkey pot set, provide a detailed problem description and product information, in order to obtain further support and solutions.

Q: Why is the bottom ofmy turkey fryer set dented or deformed?

A: Digging or deformation of the bottom of the turkey fryer set may be caused by prolonged high heat or improper use. Make sure to place the turkey in the pot before using to distribute the weight evenly. Avoid placing empty pans on high heat sources to prevent warping. At the same time, please follow the correct cooking method and temperature control to prolong the service life of the turkey pot set.

Q: Why is there some stain or discoloration on the bottom of my turkey fryer set?

A: Stains or discoloration on the bottom of the turkey fryer set can be caused by prolonged high heat or food residue. We recommend cleaning the turkey fryer set carefully before and after use and using proper cleaning methods. Avoid over-high heat and cook on medium to low heat to keep the bottom of the pan looking nice and clean.

Q: Why does my turkey fryer set have an odor when it heats up?

A: The turkey fryer set may have some odor when first used, due to residue from the manufacturing process or packaging materials. Before using for the first time, clean the turkey fryer set thoroughly and preheat it on medium-low heat to dissipate any unpleasant odors. In addition, regular cleaning and ventilation of the use environment can also reduce odor generation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CLEANING THEAPPLIANCE

1. Cooker & LP Hose/Regulator: If necessary, 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.
2. Aluminum or Stainless Steel Pots:Clean after each use according to the directions on following page.
3. Cast Iron Cookware: Clean after each use according to the directions on following page.
4. Thermometer: Clean after each use with mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not submerge in liquid or put in dishwasher.

TIPS FOR CARING FORALUMINUM FRY PANS AND BOILING POT
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 SPRAYOVEN CLEANER ONALUMINUM POTS TO REMOVE GREASE OR SOOTOVEN CLEANERWILLCAUSE 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.

NEVER PLACEAN EMPTYALUMINUMOR STAINLESS STEEL POTONA LIT COOKER
A hole will be burned in the bottom of the pot. Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may occur with the use ofpots 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.

INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
In our instructions we suggest peanut oil for deep frying. While this is an excellent choice, any good liquid vegetable oil may be substituted.

SUGGESTIONS FORKEEPING 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. lt 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.
