Bayou Classic KAB5 Care And Use Instructions

CARE AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand before using this product.
1. Sober adult operation ONLY! Read and understand this manual before using the product. The use of alcohol,
prescription or nonprescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble or safely operate appliance.
2. LP (propane) gas is colorless, tasteless, heavier than air, and is both flammable and explosive. Combustion
of propane consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas). Therefore, never operate
an outdoor cooker inside a building or confined area where ventilation may be restricted. Make sure the
LP Cylinder and the appliance is placed in an open area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
3. Never leave unit unattended. Most accidents occur as a result of leaving the unit unattended.
When Frying... a unit left unattended may eventually overheat, resulting in a serious grease fire.
When Boiling... a unit left unattended may eventually boil over. Water can splash down on the burner and put
out the fire resulting in propane gas being released out into the cooking area.
When Steaming... a unit left unattended may eventually evaporate all the water inside the steam pot. If water
is allowed to evaporate completely, the heat from this unit will melt a hole into the bottom of the pot, resulting
in a loss of the pot and the food inside.
4. This is an ATTENDED appliance. Do NOT leave this appliance unattended while heating oil, grease or water,
cooking food or when hot after use [oil, grease or water above 100°F(38°C)]. Heated liquid can remain at
scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended.
5. Keep children and pets away from the appliance at all times.
6. Do NOT move the appliance when in use. Allow the cooker to cool before moving or storing.
7. NEVER let the oil or grease temperature get hotter than 350°F (177°C). If the temperature goes above
350°F (177°C) or if oil begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF. After reaching 450°F, oil or grease
temperature can rapidly increase to its point of spontaneous combustion... a serious grease fire.
Therefore, never leave cooker unattended, always monitor the thermometer.
8. When cooking with oil or grease, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the event of an oil
or grease fire do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Turn off the gas at the supply cylinder. Use a Type BC
dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother fire with dirt, sand or baking soda.
9. NEVER overfill the cooking pot with oil, grease or water.
10. If using an outdoor cooker, always check for gas leaks before lighting.
11. Always wear shoes while cooking. Always wear mitts when handling the cooker, pots, and accessories.
