WARNING
DO NOT operate this appliance until you have read and understand ALL of the warnings and instructions
in this manual. Property damage, bodily harm, severe burns and death could result from failure to
follow these safety steps. These steps should be performed after the fryer has been assembled, stored,
moved, cleaned, or repaired.
1. Insure that the fryer is properly assembled and connected to propane cylinder.
2. Position the fryer on level ground in a well ventilated location, a safe distance from combustible
materials, buildings and overhangs. Propane cylinder should be positioned upwind from fryer so
the heat of fryer does not reach cylinder. See section below on this page for Positioning the Fryer.
3. Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks and proper routing before each use.
Hose should be positioned at least 3 inches away from hot surfaces.
4. Leak check all gas connections on regulator hose assembly, LP cylinder valve and weld seams.
See section on Gas Leak Testing on pages 14 - 15.
5. Insure that all electrical supply cords are properly grounded and are kept away from this appliance,
water and hot surfaces. DO NOT use external electrical sources with this appliance.
6. Test cooking thermometer to insure that it is working properly.
See section for Thermometer Testing on page 10.
7. Determine proper amount of cooking oil to use. See section for Proper Amount of Oil on page 19.
8. Follow Lighting Instructions. See section for Lighting Instructions on pages 17 - 18.

PRE-COOKING CHECK LIST
POSITIONING THE FRYER
1. Check wind direction.
2. Position fryer DOWNWIND from the nearest structure; no closer than 10-ft from nearest building
or railing, keeping flames from any potential oil/grease fire away from nearest structure.
3. Position fryer DOWNWIND from the LP Gas Cylinder keeping a minimum distance of 20" apart
so the heat of the fryer does not reach cylinder.
4. Position fryer on level ground in a well ventilated location, a safe distance from combustible
materials, rails, buildings, overhangs or tree branches.
5. Check that gas supply hose does not contact surfaces that may become hot during use.
Make sure overhead is clear of combustible materials!
Hose is a trip hazard. Do not walk between fryer and cylinder.
