BURNER LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the regulator to be certain it is in the OFF position before connecting to the gas cylinder.
Perform soapy water test before each use.
2. Open tank cylinder valve.
3. To start timer operation, push POWER button; both lights will blink once.
4. Press START button; green light will remain on, allowing 15 minutes of gas
flow.
5. Turn regulator on.
6. Place a lit match to the burner from under the wind shield as shown below.
7. Slowly turn regulator control knob clockwise until the burner lights.
•Timer will run 15 minutes before shutting gas flow off.
•At 5 minutes remaining, gas flow light will blink slowly. At 2 minutes remaining gas flow light will
blink quickly.
•If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn regulator control valve OFF, then turn gas cylinder valve
OFF. Wait 5 minutes for fumes to diminish, turn timer knob clockwise until its stops before relighting.
•If the flame is blown out wait 5 minutes for fumes to diminish before resetting timer and relighting.
•After the burner is lit, open the regulator valve until the flame increases. Use the air shutter on the
burner to adjust the flame until it turns blue. Reduce flame.
•Fill Pot with water or oil. DO NOT fill pot more than 1/3 the pots full capacity. This will help avoid
dangerous boil-overs. Note: DO NOT place your empty pot over the open flame. This will damage pot.
•Bring water or oil to the desired temperature by adjusting regulator control valve. Oil should never
exceed 400°F (204°C). Oil will ignite at 550°F (287°C) to 700°F (371°C).
•Always use a thermometer when frying.
•After each use, first turn the regulator control valve OFF, then turn the gas cylinder OFF. Always allow
fryer stand and pot with water or oil to cool completely before touching, moving, or storing.
