WARNING  
Avoid touching hot surfaces, wear oven mitts to protect your hands and non-slick shoes. Use caution when  
walking or standing near cooker as splattered oil may have created a slick surface.  
Avoid bumping into cooker or boiling pot to prevent hot liquid spills or overturning cooker.  
Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping over the hose could overturn  
the cooker or knock pot of hot liquid from cooker causing severe burns.  
Fully extend hose between propane tank and cooker to protect hose from contact with hot surfaces which could  
create a leak. Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.  
Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pot over an open flame;  
the bottom of the pot could melt. Always have liquid in boiling pot prior to placing over flame. Do not use plastic,  
ceramic or glassware. Any pot larger than the retaining ring will rest on top of the ring. Use caution to avoid  
knocking pot from retaining ring.  
Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over  
of hot liquid. In some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required.  
Should oil spill-over/boil-over occur, be sure to check that flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could  
accumulate creating a highly flammable and very dangerous situation. Allow all gas to dissipate prior to  
relighting cooker.  
Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Reduce flame immediately to avoid igniting oil.  
Never exceed 375° F.  
Frozen food should be completely thawed before placing in hot oil. Pat food dry before placing in hot oil. Never  
add water or food that is dripping wet to hot oil as this could cause oil to splash and cause severe burns.  
Use extreme care when removing food from hot oil or liquid. Remove food from pot SLOWLY. As contents may  
be heavy and oil may drip or splatter during removal, extra attention must be used during this process to avoid  
overturning pot of hot liquid.  
After food is cooked, turn off cooker and remove food. Allow cooker, pot and liquid to cool completely  
before handling.  
Do not use or store cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may  
be present.  
Do not use this cooker and boiling pot for other than its intended purpose.  
Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be  
performed by The Brinkmann Corporation.  
Properly dispose of all packaging materials.  
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR COOKER.  
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL  
COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

GAS LEAK TESTING  
THE GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED  
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS CONNECTED TO COOKER.  
WARNING  
Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area.  
During the gas leak testing procedure, always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit  
cigarettes.  
Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.  
If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank valve and regulator control valve  
off immediately. Always wait at least 5 minutes for gas fumes to dissipate before repeating  
procedure.  
Always use the propane tank valve to turn the unit ON and OFF. The regulator control valve is used  
to adjust the flame ONLY.  
Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporations Customer Service  
Department for replacement parts at 1-800-527-0717.

Step 2  
Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air  
shutter (refer to Assembly Instructions). Attach POL  
fitting to tank (using f" wrench) and tighten by turning  
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.  
Step 3  
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid  
to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and  
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture  
to the regulator, POL fitting, control valve, the entire length of  
hose and SAE fitting (located near the air shutter).  
NOTE: POL fittings are made with  
a metal to metal seal and  
must be made very tight to  
prevent leaking.  
Step 4  
With the regulator control valve in the OFFposition, open  
the propane tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise).  
Next, open the regulator control valve fully and check for  
bubbles at control valve, along the entire length of hose and  
at the SAE fitting. DO NOT LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN  
10 SECONDS. If soapy mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking  
through the connection or hose. Turn the propane tank valve  
OFF and retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat  
procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.  
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the  
propane tank valve OFF after each test.  
Watch For Bubbles  
Step 5  
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST  
5 MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE  
LIGHTING THE BURNER.  
CAREFULLY FOLLOW OPERATING

hold the flame 2" above burner porthole. Open the regulator control  
valve SLOWLY until the burner lights.  
Regulator Control Valve  
WARNING: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the  
propane tank valve and regulator control valve OFF  
immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until gas fumes  
have dissipated before attempting to light the burner  
again.  
Step 4:  
After lighting the burner, open the regulator control valve until a  
large yellow flame appears. Adjust the air shutter valve on the  
cooker until the flame turns blue. Use the regulator control valve to  
adjust the flame accordingly.  
Step 5:  
Place pot with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows placement  
of a 14.5" (36.8 cm) diameter pot. Any pot larger than the retaining  
ring will rest on the retaining ring of cooker.  
Step 6:  
Bring oil or liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best  
results, use a deep fry thermometer to check oil/liquid temperature.  
If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to avoid igniting the oil.  
Never exceed 375°F (190° C).  
NOTE: Due to the intense heat  
from burner, it is normal  
for paint to burn off and  
discoloration to occur on  
cooker during the first  
few uses.  
Step 7:  
Use pan/pot with a strainer basket or long handle skimmer to lower  
food into hot liquid. Lower food into the pot slowly. Frozen foods  
should be thawed to room temperature before placing in hot liquid.  
The temperature of liquid will drop when food is added. Adjust the  
flame to return to desired cooking temperature. When the desired  
temperature is achieved, reduce the heat to maintain temperature.
