WARNING

1. The fryer must be located on a level surface.
2. This is an outdoor cooking appliance only. Use only outdoors.
3. Never leave the fryer unattended. If fryers aren't watched care-

fully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire. Never
move cooker while in use or hot.

4. A fire can occur from overheated oil or grease.
5. Oil may heat faster than expected.
6. Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature.
7. Do not use appliance on or near combustible surfaces, wood

decks, storage sheds, garages, shrubbery, trees, houses, etc...

8. Do not cover the pot when heating oil or grease.
9. Should grease fire occur, turn off the gas and cover the pot with

the lid.

10. Check every fitting for gas leaks before each use.

11. Never stand over burner while lighting; this could result in serious

injury. Carefully follow lighting instructions.

12. This cooker is equipped to operate on propane (LP) gas only from

a refillable cylinder certified by DOT (Department of Transpor-
tation).

13. Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use. Even after

use, never allow children or pets near the turkey fryer. The oil
inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot, hours after use.

14. Never place empty containers over an open flame.
15. Do not attempt to change valve depth into burner or reassemble

parts.

16. Never store propane tank in an enclosed area. If cooker is stored in

doors after use, disconnect the propane tank for outdoor storage.

17. The regulator and hose assembly provided with this cooker must

be used, no substitutions. Other regulators or no regulator used at
all could result in dangerous gas leakage and improper burner per-
formance.

18. Never install or remove the propane tank while cooker is in use or

too hot to touch.

19. Always inspect hose kit before each use. Protect hose from cuts,

heat or abrasions. Never use a hose that indicates signs of cracking
or damage.

20. Never allow hose to contact any part of the cooker while in use or

still hot. Place propane tank from cooker so that the hose length
will not be in the way. Keep all connections and fittings clean,
replace any damaged parts.

21. Never store the propane tank near high heat, open flames, direct

sunlight or where high temperature exist.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

Apply gas detector fluid (or soapy dishwashing solution) on all con-
nections, especially around the regulator, valve and POL-cylinder con-
nection. Any bubbles that appear indicate a gas leak. If so, turn off gas
and tighten the fitting. If a leak persists, pipe thread compound may be
needed on the threads.

NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

TURKEY FRYER

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Effective Date November, 2002

The Superb Turkey Fryer is the affordable choice for frying whole
turkeys and chickens. The narrow diameter requires less oil than a stan-
dard stockpot. The raised rack allows the oil to circulate and keeps the
turkey off the bottom to prevent burning. This fryer can also be used as
a regular stockpot for all types of cooking.

It is recommended that you "season" the pot before use. Pour a small
amount of vegetable oil in the pot and spread it around with a paper towel
until the entire bottom and sides are coated and let stand for 10 minutes.
Wash out the interior and it is ready for use.

Preparation and Cooking of Whole Fried Turkey
Caution:
Do not use a kitchen stove for frying whole fried turkey with
this unit. This unit is designed for use on outdoor gas cookers. Superb
recommends the Pronto Flame Cooker, Model Number HP-100. Be sure
to read and follow all instructions provided with your outdoor gas cook-
er and propane tank.

*Must be used to maintain proper oil temperature.

Ingredients:
• Turkey, up to 16 pounds
• Peanut Oil or Cottonseed Oil:

For a 10-12 pound turkey use 1 1/2 - 2 gallons
For a 13-16 pound turkey use 2 1/2 - 3 gallons

• 1 quart water
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 stick butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 teaspoon Creole seasoning

If uncertain about how much peanut oil to use, place turkey in pot and fill
with water until turkey is covered. The amount of water used corresponds
to the amount of oil needed.

Preparation:
• Make sure the the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with

marinades. Oil and water don't mix, and water causes oil to spill over,
causing a fire or even an explosion hazard. A partially frozen turkey
placed into the fryer can cause intense bubbling, forcing the oil to over-
flow. Clean and dry turkey inside and out; removing giblets and neck
and trimming away all excess fat. Make sure opening around the neck
is clear.

• The National Turkey Federation recommends refrigerator thawing and

to allow approximately 24 hours for every five pounds of bird thawed
in the refrigerator.

• Combine water, butter, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and Creole sea-

soning in microwave-safe container. Heat in microwave, then inject
into breast and legs, spacing injections about an inch apart. The breasts
will puff up. This can be done a day ahead.

• Place turkey upside down on rack, with legs facing up. See Figure 3.
