Owner`s manual
COOKING WITH OIL OR GREASE:
DO NOT overfill the cooking pot with oil/grease or water. Follow instructions in the manual for
establishing proper oil/grease or water levels.
DO NOT allow the oil to exceed 400˚F (200˚C); if this happens; adjust the regulator control knob in
order to drop temperature. If oil temperature continues to rise or begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY
turn the burner OFF. Allow temperature to co
ol to 350˚F (177˚C) and then relight the burner,
regulating the flame to maintain temperature.
DO NOT leave appliance unattended while heating oil/grease or water, or while cooking food. Do
Not allow other people or pets near a gas appliance while still hot after its use. High temperatures
will remain long after appliance is turned off. Allow cooling below 115˚F (45˚C) before cleaning and
storing.
Unth
awed and soggy foods may cause oil or grease to overflow. Always completely thaw and
towel dry all foods before frying. If ice is present on the food, the thawing process is not complete
and may cause liquid to boil over and splatter; possibly causing a fire.
Use the thermometer provided for proper temperature control when cooking with hot oil or grease.
Use caution when placing food in the cooking v
essel while the appliance is in operation. Carefully,
watch for splashing or overflow of hot oil during immersion of product to be fried when placing in
the gas fryer.
When cooking with oil/grease, have an inspected, ready-to-use fire extinguisher readily accessible.
IF A GREASE OR OIL FIRE OCCURS:
In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. A Type BC or ABC dry
chemical fire extinguisher may in some cases contain the fire. If possible:
1. Turn off gas supply.
2. Wearing a protective glove, cover the pot with a lid.
If a fire occurs (outside the pot) follow these steps.
1. Call the Fire Department if property damage is possible.
2. Attempt to extinguish using chemical fire ex
tinguisher specified.
3. Turn off the gas supply if possible.
In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking with oil, cover the
cooking vessel & immediately turn off the burner(s) and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker stand or
pot.
