WARNING
WARNING
THERMOMETER & OIL TEMPERATURE
• This gas appliance does not have automatic thermostat controls so must be attended and
thermometer monitored at all times during use.
• When cooking with oil or grease, a thermometer MUST be used for reasonable temperature
reading. Follow instructions for proper testing, installation and use of the provided thermometer
on page 10 in this manual.
• Test thermometer before each use. If thermometer does not function properly, a replacement
thermometer must be obtained before using this fryer.
• Carefully monitor the temperature of cooking oil with the thermometer and regulate temperature
so it does not reach the "Fire Hazard" zone on thermometer. If necessary, turn the gas OFF
to the fryer to allow the oil to cool.
• Oil ignites at varying temperatures depending on type of oil used, altitude, ambient temperature
and wind. Check thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking oil does not exceed 400˚F (200˚C).
• Do not allow oil or grease to exceed 400˚F (200˚C). Oil or grease will ignite and catch fire.
If cooking oil or grease reaches 400˚F (200˚C), turn burner OFF. Wait for the cooking oil or grease
temperature to decrease to less than 350˚F (117˚C) before relighting burner.
• Regardless of thermometer reading, if the oil/grease starts to smoke, turn OFF fuel supply to the
burner and STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY. This indicates the thermometer is not working properly.
Discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 M-F 8am - 5pm CST for assistance.
Replacement thermometer Model #5070.
REGULATOR HOSE ASSEMBLY
• The pressure regulator hose assembly supplied with this appliance
must be used. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the fryer.
If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be
replaced prior to the fryer being put into operation. Only use
replacement regulator hose assembly #M5HPR-1. This part can be obtained by contacting
Barbour International, Inc. at 1-800-864-6194. Replace regulator hose assembly at least every
two years. Keep the fuel supply hose away from any heated surface.
• Refer to instructions for connecting regulator hose assembly to LP gas cylinder and burner on
pages 13 -14 in this manual.
• Check all gas connections by following the Gas Leak Testing Instructions on pages 14 -15 in
this manual. Never test for gas leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
DO NOT operate this fryer with a gas leak.
• Follow Lighting & Reigniting Instructions as stated in this manual on pages 17 -18. Use a fireplace
match or gas appliance butane lighter.
• In sunlight or other bright light, the flame may be almost invisible. Use extreme caution keeping hands,
hair and clothing away from the burner and exhaust vent. Do not lean over the burner when lighting.
Keep hair and face away from exhaust vent when lighting and during use. Loose hair and clothing
can catch fireduring lighting and operation.
• The valve on regulator hose assembly controls flame intensity only. It is not an ON/OFF valve.
