CARE & MAINTENANCE
Intense heat from the cooker will burn away paint from parts of the frame, windscreen flashing, and flame spreader.
This is normal and will cause a slight 'odor' for a few minutes during the initial use. The exposed steel will rust.
Occasional care must be taken to prolong the life of your cooker
.
1. Store cooker in a dry place. Do not store outside exposed to weather. Storage of a gas cooker appliance
indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected. If storing cooker indoors, detach and leave LP cylinder
outdoors. LP cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must NOT be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
2. For long term storage, cover cast iron burner and regulator hose assembly with a plastic bag.
3. Spiders and small insects have been known to spin webs inside the burner tube. Obstructions in the burner
tube interfere with the flow and mixture of air and gas through the burner. A clogged burner tube may result
in a fire beneath the appliance. If this happens, clean the burner tube with a stiff, bent wire.
4. Check and tighten any loose hardware before each use.
5. Inspect entire cooker including regulator hose assembly and burner assembly before each use. Replace any
damaged or worn parts. Use only parts specified by Barbour International, Inc.
6. Before using for the first time, wash the pot and basket with hot soapy water. Dry immediately to prevent water
spots.
7. To prevent scratches, avoid using sharp utensils when cooking.
8. Discoloration of stainless steel cookware will result if the pieces are allowed to overheat excessively. For hard
to-clean stains or discoloration of the stainless steel, use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner. Follow the
directions on the container using a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Do Not scrub finish with a soap-filled steel
wool pad or harsh abrasive cleanser as scratching will occur.
9. Overheating may cause food to scorch and stick to cookware.
10.Boiling with large quantities of salt is very corrosive and can cause pits in all forms of cookware. To reduce
the chance of this occurring, add salt after water begins to boil. Do not allow salted or seasoned water to
remain in stainless cookware for a long period of time as pits can form once it’s cooled. Cookware should
be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
11.Do not store this product, or any of its components, in a corrosive environment. A corrosive environment can
be a highly damp area, or a saltwater spray/marine environment. Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy that
contains a minimum of 11% chromium to make it resist rust, or stain "less" than other steels. Please note the
name is not "stain-never", but stainless and that is precisely what it will do. It will stain less. Bayou Classic
®
uses Type 201 grade stainless steel. It is a low-nickel, non-magnetic, austenitic stainless steel. It is 16 - 18%
chrome, 3.5 - 5.5% nickel, and 5.5 - 7.5% manganese. The manganese provides corrosion resistance and
replaces the nickel in a 2:1 ratio.
WARNING
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.
