WE WANT YOU TO USE YOUR COOkING VESSEL AS SAFELY AS POSSIbLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT
SYMbOL IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIbLE HAzARDS AS YOU USE YOUR COOkING VESSEL.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMbOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!
• Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease, water or other liquids. Follow instructions on page 2 to establish proper
liquid level. Liquid level must be determined prior to heating liquid so boil-over does not occur when food is added.
• Never allow oil/grease to get hotter than 400 °F (200 °C). If the temperature exceeds 400 °F (200 °C) or if the oil begins to
smoke, immediately turn the burner or gas supply OFF. Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Oil
ignites at varying temperatures; therefore, never allow the oil to exceed 400 °F (200 °C) and NEVER LEAVE HEATING OIL
UNATTENDED.
• Always use a cooking thermometer to monitor the heat of cooking oil. A thermometer may be obtained by contacting The
Brinkmann Corporation at 1-800-527-0717.
• The Brinkmann Corporation carries a variety of cooking vessels to accommodate your cooking needs. 10, 24 and 30 quart
pots may be used for frying or boiling. Pots larger than 30 quarts must not be used for frying. These pots are only suitable
for boiling with water, vegetable stock, etc. Only the 30 quart pot is suitable for frying turkeys when used with a fryer stand
that has been certified for frying turkeys.
• Heated liquids remain at scalding temperatures long after the cooking process. Never touch cooking appliance until liquids
have cooled to 115 °F (45 °C) or less.
• Avoid bumping into boiling pot or pot handle to prevent hot liquid spills or overturning pot. Boiling pot should only be used
with a cooker suitable for large pots.
• If a fire should occur, keep away from the cooking vessel and immediately call your Fire Department. Do not attempt to
extinguish an oil/grease fire with water. If there is a lid or cover on the cooking vessel, do not remove it as oxygen will feed a
fire.
• Hot oil or water can cause severe burns and permanent disfigurement; use caution and common sense when cooking with
hot liquids.
• Do not move cooking vessel while in use or while cooking vessel contains hot liquids. Use caution when walking or standing
near cooking vessel as splattered oil may have created a slick surface.
• Do not leave the cooking vessel unattended. Keep children and pets away from the cooking vessel at all times. Carefully
monitor all activity around the cooking vessel to avoid burns or other injuries.
• Avoid bumping of or impact with the cooking vessel to prevent spillage or splashing of hot cooking liquid. Only use cooking
vessel with heat source (stove, gas cooker, etc.) suitable to accommodate the size of your cooking vessel.
• Never drop food or accessories into hot cooking liquid. Slowly lower food and accessories into the cooking liquid in order to
prevent splashing or overflow of liquid. When removing food from the cooking vessel care shall be taken to avoid burns from
hot cooking liquids.
• When frying with oil/grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried before being placed in cooking
vessel.
• Do not place empty cooking vessel on heat source as it could melt. Always have liquid in cooking vessel prior to placing over
heat.
• Do not use lid when cooking with grease or oil. When cooking with oil or grease, have a type BC or ABC fire extinguisher
readily available. In the event of an oil//grease fire, immediately call the Fire Department. Do not attempt to extinguish with
water. A type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
• Always wear oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands from splatter burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
