WARNING
• Check and clean the appliance with every use. A clogged jet tube can lead to
a fire beneath the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
6. Before using for the first time, wash your pot and basket with hot soapy water. Dry immediately to
prevent water spots.
7. To prevent scratches, avoid using sharp utensils with your pot or basket.
8. Discoloration of stainless steel will result from exposure to excessive heat. For hard to clean stains
or discoloration of the pot, apply a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner with a clean, damp sponge or
cloth. Do not use a steel wool pad or harsh abrasive cleanser as scratching will occur.
9. Overheating may cause food to scorch and stick to cookware.
10. Never store liquids in cooking vessels. Salt and seasoning will weaken the integrity of the pot.
11. Boiling with large quantities of salt is very corrosive and can cause pits in all forms of cookware.
To reduce the chance of this occurring, add salt after water begins to boil. Clean cookware thoroughly
after each use.
12. Store appliance in a dry place. If storing indoors (including a shed or garage), detach the LP cylinder
and store the tank outside. For long term storage, cover the burner and the HVR with a plastic bag.
13. Do not store this appliance, or any of its components, in a corrosive environment. A corrosive
environment can be a highly damp area, or a saltwater/marine environment. Stainless Steel is an
iron-based alloy that contains a minimum of 11% chromium to make it resist rust, or stain "less" than
other steels. Please note that name is not "stain-never", but stainless and that is precisely what it will do
– it will stain-less.
