1. THERMOMETER TEST INSTRUCTIONS THERMOMETER NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS COOKER AWARNING A Always use a thermometer when frying any food products A thermometer is a sensitive measuring device which may not work properly if dropped bent or twisted Always check to be sure your thermometer is working properly before frying DO NOT use a boiling thermometer or meat thermometer for frying 2 STEP METHOD for Thermometer Testing 1 TEMPERATURE ACCURACY While wearing protective gloves hold the thermometer by the dial and insert stem into boiling water The needle should quickly move around the dial and register approximately 212 F 100 C plus or minus 5 F This indicates whether or not temperature reading is accurate NOTE Due to water evaporation the maximum reading possible on a thermometer in hot water is 212 F 100 C 2 TEMPERATURE RANGE Hold thermometer by the dial and place end of the stem above a lit match or lighter The needle should quickly move around the dial and register a temperature reading far above 350 F If the needle stops at a low temperature reading such as 225 F then the thermometer is damaged and cannot be used DO NOT attempt frying if your thermometer is not working PLACEMENT OF YOUR THERMOMETER 1 Make sure clip on thermometer is about 2 below the dial Thermometer clipped to Basket 2 For frying attach the thermometer clip on the inside of the basket with the stem immersed in oil at leas2. 2 After making certain food product is thawed and towel dried add food product into the empty basket ACAUTION A Before lighting cooker always have all food product prepared and ready for frying This will reduce future distractions and better enable proper monitoring of thermometer and heating oil 3 Add the determined amount of oil grease into the cooking vessel 4 Attach your thermometer to the pot making certain the stem is immersed into the oil at least 1 inch 19 ACAUTION A Thermometer shall be attached to the cooking vessel for heat up period only Later attach thermometer to the basket for frying 5 Light the burner on the cooker as described NOTE Spend a few moments to adjust the flame up and down to become familiar with flame adjustment process 6 Reduce burner flame to lowest possible setting and carefully set cooking vessel with oil and thermometer onto the cooker 7 Increase flame to desired level and monitor your thermometer When using 3 quarts of oil or less the heat up time to reach 325 F to 350 F will take from 3 to 5 minutes Actual heatup time will vary depending on type and amount of oil used regulator setting ambient temperature and wind A WARNING A DO NOT cover cooking vessel with a lid during oil heat up or frying This can cause oil to heat faster overheat ignite and cause a fire 8 When temperature reaches 325 F 350 F reduce burner flame to lowest level Wearing a prote
3. In the event of an oil grease fire do not attempt to extinguish with water Immediately call your local Fire Department A Type BC or ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher may in some cases contain the fire If a fire occurs INSIDE THE COOKING VESSEL follow these steps e Turn off gas supply e Wearing a protective glove cover the pot with a lid DO NOT re open lid as the oil grease fire could re ignite Allow cooking vessel to cool down to 115 F 45 C before opening lid If a fire occurs OUTSIDE THE COOKING VESSEL follow these steps Turn off the gas supply if possible Wearing a protective glove cover the pot with a lid if possible Call the local Fire Department if property damage is possible Attempt to extinguish using a chemical fire extinguisher specified Once fire is extinguished DO NOT re open lid as the oil grease fire could re ignite Allow cooking vessel to cool down to 115 F 45 C before opening lid A DANGER A GAS LEAK TESTING To prevent fire or explosion hazard e DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test e Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area at least 10 ft away from any structure or trees e Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame e Never perform a leak test while the cooker is in use or while cooker is still hot AWARNING A PLACEMENT OF COOKER e This cooker shall be used OUTDOORS ONLY DO NOT use in a building home garage balcony porch
4. amp USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKWARE Polished Aluminum Pots 1 It is recommended to season the pot before use Pour 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 A CAUTION A Empty aluminum pots will melt if placed on cooker over an open flame 2 After cooking let pans and lids cool gradually Do not pour cold water into a hot pan This can cause the bottom of the pan to warp and it can cause oil grease to splatter Always wash the pans thoroughly in hot soapy detergent after each use to remove all traces of food salt or grease particles that will burn causing stains when the pan is reheated 3 Seasoning the pots will make cleaning easier Scouring pads and aluminum cleaners are okay for the interior of the pots but will scratch the exterior 4 Polished aluminum pots will tarnish and discolor with normal use Our motto is The uglier the pot the better it cooks Occasional use of Cream of Tartar will bring back some of the luster However aluminum pots will tarnish and become dull 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 or seasoned oil grease to remain in the pot for a long perio
5. before pouring into its plastic container Hot oil can melt the plastic and cause severe burns or bodily harm COOKING NOTE When frying the very first basket of food product the food may reach proper doneness before the cooking oil returns to the optimum frying range between 325 F to 350 F This is normal For subsequent basket loads of food the oil should return to the 325 F to 350 F cooking range while the food product fries to proper doneness As cooking process continues a steady frying temperature can be maintained with burner flame adjusted to a lower setting 20 COOKING OIL Important Facts to Know Since early times when human civilization first developed pots and pans people have used various forms of cooking oil for frying Originally animal fat grease lard was used for frying which now is mostly replaced by olive vegetable and peanut oil It is almost universal knowledge that over heated cooking oil will catch fire and burn Cooking oil has a flashpoint temperature ranging from 550 F to 700 F depending on type of oil used altitude and ambient temperature However most people do not realize that cooking oil typically does not burn when below its flashpoint temperature Cooking oil contained inside the confines of a stockpot skillet or pan vessel is quite stable when below its flashpoint temperature For example heated cooking oil at optimum frying range of 325 F to 350 F does not catch fire even if a flame is
