BEFORE EACH USE

WARNING: NEVER MOVE THE COOKER OR POT WHILE IN USE OR STILL HOT (ABOVE 100°F (38°C)).
WARNING: 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.

The area where the cooker will be used must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
The flow of combustion and ventilation of air must not be obstructed. The cooker must be set in an open area with 10 ft. (3.05 m) of space on all sides and no roof or overhang overhead.
Check the burner/venturi tube for insects, insect nests, and other obstructions. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath 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. Visit WebstaurantStore.com for information regarding a replacement hose assembly. Only the LP hose/ regulator assembly specified by Backyard Pro should be used with the appliance.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: NEVER put hands or face directly over the burner while lighting or while the unit is in operation.

Connect the gas hose to LP cylinder and check all connections for leaks.
Note: Keep the LP cylinder at least 24″ away from the unit.
Make sure the regulator control is turned OFF by turning counterclockwise until it cannot be turned any further.
Open LP cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. 1).
If using a lighter: Insert through the hole in the shroud (Fig. 2). If using a match and match holder: Hold in the top of the range above the burner (Fig. 3).
Turn the regulator control toward the ON position until ignition occurs.
Note: Turning the regulator control clockwise increases the gas pressure to the burner, which will increase the flame size (Fig. 1).
Note: If ignition does not occur within 3-5 seconds, turn the regulator and cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes to allow gas to disperse, then repeat the above process.
Check that the flame is blue, indicating proper gas flow. If your flames are orange/yellow, rotate the air shutter (Fig. 4) until there is a blue flame. Note: Opening the shutter too far will cause the flame to “lift” off the burner.
Monitor the range at all times during operation. If at any point the flames are accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the regulator and cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse, then relight the range according to the above instructions.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

Follow all Lighting Instructions above 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. Disconnect the hose from the cooker. Remove the air shutter using a phillips head screwdriver. 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. Reattach the air shutter to the venturi tube using the phillips screwdriver. Assemble and light the cooker again as per the instruction manual.
Always use the LP hose/regulator assembly supplied with the appliance.
For purchase of any replacement parts, please visit WebstaurantStore.com.
DO NOT 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 it to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water and rinse.

COOKING OIL

Suggested cooking oil: For deep frying, we suggest using peanut oil, but any good liquid vegetable oil may be used.
To keep used cooking oil: Let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles (using filter paper or a clean cloth) before storing in original container or similar sturdy plastic or glass container. DO NOT 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.

Note: Try frying a batch of french fries after cooking to aid in improving the flavor of the oil for the next use.

AFTER EACH USE

Turn the cooker OFF at the regulator/manual valve first, then at the gas cylinder valve.
Check to make sure there is no flame and all valves are OFF.
DO NOT leave the cooker until it has cooled completely.
When removing food from the cooker, wear protective mitts.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder by turning the Type 1 fitting counterclockwise until the regulator is separated from the tank.
Storage of this cooker indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the cooker.
DO NOT use or store cylinder in a building, garage, or enclosed area. Read and follow all cylinder manufacturer’s instructions.
The cylinder must be stored out of the reach of children at all times.
Keep entire unit in area to avoid insects and contamination that can clog the venturi tube.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

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.
Note: DO NOT immerse the burner unit or hose/regulator into water, as this will cause rust.

Thermometer

Clean after each use with mild, soapy water and towel dry.

Note: DO NOT immerse in liquid or put in dishwasher.

Aluminum Fry Pans & Boiling Pot

It is NOT necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them.
Before cooking, wash with a liquid dish detergent, rinse, and towel dry.
After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. If grease or black soot has cooked onto the outside of the pot/pan while cooking, scrub with a steel wool scouring pad.
Note: 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. After soaking, 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 3 cups of water to 1 tbsp of cream of tartar or vinegar). Boil 5-10 minutes.
