1. Check the casting to make sure it is set up as per the illustration (Figure 1)
2. Make certain that the regulator control is turned to OFF by turning it counterclockwise until it reaches the stop.
3. Open cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 2).
4. To start timer operation, push the black “POWER” button. Both lights will blink once. Press red “START” button.
The green light will remain on. The timer is now set for a 15 minute operational cycle. Gas will not flow to the
burner unless the timer is turned on.
5. Insert a multipurpose lighter through the hole in the shroud as per Figure 3, or use a paper book match placed
above the casting as per Figure 4. Turn the regulator control toward the “ON” position until ignition occurs.
Turning the regulator control clockwise increases the gas pressure to the burner and hence the flame size
(Figure 2).
When lighting the stove, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the regulator and cylinder valve off.
Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
6. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting. If not, rotate the air
shutter position until there is a blue flame. Opening the shutter too much will cause the flame to “Lift” off the
burner (Figure 5).
If there is a yellow flame, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be an obstruction in the venturi
tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on page 24 for more information regarding a yellow flame.
7. Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process the flame is
accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the regulator and cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to
disperse and relight the cooker according to the directions in this section.
8. The timer will run 15 minutes before shutting off gas flow. The timer can be reset manually throughout the
cooking process without shutting off the gas flow by pressing the red “START” button. This will start a new 15
minute operational cycle. At 5 minutes remaining in an operational cycle, the gas flow light (green) will blink
slowly. At 2 minutes remaining in an operational cycle, the gas flow light (green) will blink quickly. If the timer
completes a 15 minute cycle without being reset (pressing red “START” button), the gas flow will be turned off
and the flame extinguished. If additional cooking is required, relight the cooker according to the directions in this
section.
ImPortAnt: the timer does not measure temperature and will not control the temperature of the cooking
liquid within the pot. the temperature must be controlled manually by observing the thermometer and
adjusting the flame with the regulator control knob (turn counterclockwise to reduce the flame, clockwise
to increase the flame.) neVer reset the timer without first reading the thermometer temperature.
9. DO NOT manually reset the timer if the oil temperature reaches 350 °F(177°C). If the temperature goes above
350 °F(177°C) immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to
below 350 °F(177°C) before relighting according to instructions in the manual. If at any point during the cooking
process the oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the burner and gas supply OFF regardless of the reading on
the thermometer. Allow time for the oil to cool, then contact Metal Fusion, Inc. for further instructions.
the timer is not a replacement for proper monitoring and will not measure or control the temperature of
the cooking liquid within the pot. your cooker must always be attended while in use and monitored after
use while still hot [100°F (38°c)]. the oil in the pot can overheat quickly if left unattended. the thermometer
supplied with this appliance must always be used to monitor the temperature of the cooking liquid.
