deep FryIng wIth outdoor cooKers
1. Always use a deep fry thermometer when using this appliance as a fryer/boiler.
a. Before each use of the appliance make sure that the thermometer is properly calibrated by
placing the tip in a pot of boiling water. The thermometer should register within +/-20
°
of
212
°
F or +/-10
°
of 100
°
C. If the thermometer is miscalibrated, contact Metal Fusion, Inc. to
obtain a replacement before using the appliance.
b. Hang the thermometer on the inside of the pot with the probe immersed in the cooking liquid.
Never place a lid over a pot when monitoring the temperature of oil.
c. Once the fire has been lit monitor the temperature on the thermometer at all times. Water
boils at 212
°
F(100
°
C). The temperature of hot oil should never be allowed to exceed
350
°
F(177
°
C).
ImportAnt: Oil can ignite at high temperatures. Most King Kooker® thermometers have a Red Zone above
350
°
F(177
°
C) to signify Danger. Never allow the temperature to exceed 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.
d. When the cooking is complete and the cooker has been turned off, allow the temperature
of the cooking liquid to fall below 100
°
F(38
°
C) before moving the pot, cooking oil, or cooker.
e. Please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at (800) 783-3885 with any questions concerning the use or
operation of the thermometer.
2. Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.
3. Always thaw and dry food completely before placing it into hot oil. Frozen or wet food may cause oil or grease
to overflow.
4. Never put an empty pot over an open flame.
5. In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while cooking with oil/grease, cover the
cooking vessel immediately and turn off the appliance burners and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the
appliance or cooking vessel.
6. 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. Immediately call your Fire Department. A Type BC or
Type ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
