inside the security ring of the fryer.
WARNING
Incorrect
Correct
Do not allow oil to get hotter than 400°F (200°C). One gallon of oil can reach 350°F (175°C) in 7 to
10 minutes. Use thermometer to check temperature, or if oil begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn
burner OFF.
When in use, do not leave fryer unattended. Oil will heat up quickly and ignite at 550°F (287°C) to
700°F (371°C).
Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow. When frying with
oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove excess
water. If ice is present on food, this means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a
boil over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire.

enclosure free and clear of debris.
• The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, Propane Storage and
Handling, CSA B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A119.2/NFPA 1192 and the

DAMAGE.
FOR YOUR SAFETY FOLLOW THESE STEPS ON
HOW TO PROPERLY DEEP FRY A TURKEY
DANGER
STEP 1 - If a fill line is stamped on the pot then STEP 1 is not needed. Fill the pot with oil to the fill line
and go to STEP 2. If there is no stamped line, place thawed turkey, up to 18 lbs (8kg) MAX size, into
basket and lower turkey into empty pot. Fill pot with water until the butt of the turkey is covered. There
must be 3 in (8cm) between this water level & the top of the pot. Remove the turkey from the pot allowing
all water to drain from the turkey. Once turkey has been removed, mark the waterline. Empty the water
from the pot and fill with oil up to the marked line.
Gas Cylinder Storage, Placement and Filling:
• Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near appliance.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Over filled cylinders can release gas.The gas cylinder
safety relief valve may overheat, allowing gas to release causing an intense fire with risk of death or
serious injury.
• If you smell, hear or see gas escaping, immediately get away from gas cylinder and call the fire
department. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
STEP 2 - Insure that turkey is completely thawed and free of excess water and ice. Inject turkey with a
marinade of your choice. Cover the outside of turkey with cajun dry rub reasoning. Replace the turkey in
basket with legs pointing up. Ignite burner (see page 9) and bring oil temperature to 350°F (177°C).
Turn the burner off before placing the turkey into oil. Wearing cooking gloves, and being sure to stay
away from hot steam, lower the turkey into the oil very slowly and cover with lid. Re-light the burner.
Using the thermometer keep the oil temperature at 350°F (177°C). Cook turkey for 3 minutes per pound
and then add 5 minutes to total cooking time. Turkey may float before cooking time is complete. Continue
cooking turkey for the total amount of time calculated. When cooking is complete, turn burner OFF and
remove food slowly.
• Place a dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install dust cap on
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder. Other caps or plugs may cause leaks.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire, explosion, or burn hazard, which could cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
For Your Safety
Gas Cylinder Storage and Appliance Check:
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area.
