Use and Care Guide

Safety timer:

Your new Chard 30qt Outdoor Cooker includes a battery operated safety

timer attached to the hose/regulator (see Figure 1). The ﬂow of gas is shut off

automatically every 15 minutes unless manually reset. Therefore, the user needs to

ensure that timer is tended to while cooking to keep the gas ﬂowing to the burner.

If the timer is allowed to complete its cycle it will shut off for safety reasons. If you

are not done cooking you will need to reset the timer and relight the burner per the

included instructions.

NOTE: The timer mechanism is not a substitute for watching the cooker at

all times during the cooking process. Make sure to always use the included

thermometer.
