INTRODUCTION
Your new King Kooker ® Outdoor Cooker is equipped with a gas
shut-off system. This system helps prevent the overheating of cooking oil and
fires which could result, by stopping the gas flow to the appliance. The pot
contains a high temperature probe that senses when the oil temperature is too
high. The system then stops gas flow to the appliance.
To operate your new cooker, the pot must be properly placed and plugged into
the burner system as per the assembly instructions in this manual.
The system will also stop gas flow in the event the flame blows out, preventing a
dangerous build up of gas that could ignite.
Follow all warnings and instructions contained in this manual for proper
assembly and use of this product.
IMPORTANT: The gas shut-off system is NOT a replacement for proper
monitoring and will not 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.

THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
DEEP FRYING WITH OUTDOOR COOKERS
1. The gas shut-off system should stop the gas flow if the oil in the pot overheats. However, it is important to always attend the appliance
and monitor the cooking liquid temperature with the deep fry thermometer provided with the appliance for successful and safe
cooking.
2. 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 oil to fall
below 100°F(38°C) before moving the pot, cooking oil, or cooker.
e. Please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at [phone] with any questions concerning the use or operation of
the thermometer.
3. Never cover the pot when cooking with oil.
4. Always thaw and dry food completely before placing it into hot oil. Frozen or wet food may cause oil or grease to
overflow.
5. Never put an empty pot over an open flame.
6. 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.
7. 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.
DETERMINING PROPER FILL LEVELS FOR COOKING VESSELS
Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Always fill to at least the minimum fill line. Never fill a pot
beyond the maximum fill line. Some models include fry pans that are stamped with only one fill line. This indicates
the exact level to which the oil should be filled before it is heated and food is added.
Follow these instructions to determine the amount of cooking liquid to be used on turkey pots (up to a 20 lb. turkey):
a. Place the food product in or on the holder.
b. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.
c. Fill the vessel with water until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a
minimum of 3 inches (7.5cm) between the water level and top of the vessel.
d. Remove the food product from the vessel and either mark the water level on the side of
the vessel or measure the amount of water in the vessel.
e. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.
f. This is the amount of cooking liquid the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product. Make sure this
level is located between the minimum fill line and maximum fill line.

1. Check that your hose assembly is set to not allow gas flow. Turn the regulator control counterclockwise
until it stops. This is the OFF position.
2. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve by turning the Type 1 fitting clockwise. Hand tighten with the
regulator positioned upright. Refer to the assembly diagram for the appliance below.
3. Perform the Leak Test:
4. Before lighting the cooker, check that the venturi tube is free of obstruction and that the orifice is properly
threaded into the venturi tube as per instructions on pages 10-11. Both situations must be corrected if
necessary before lighting to prevent flashback.
LEAK TEST
Before lighting the appliance, a thorough leak test must be satisfactorily completed using
a non-ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). This is to be
applied with a small brush to all gas joints after the cylinder valve is opened (no more than
1/2 turn). If bubbles are seen, indicating a leak, turn off the cylinder and tighten the leaking
connection until a further leak test shows no leaks.
If tightening the connection does not stop the leak, call Metal Fusion, Inc. [phone],
for assistance.
NEVER USE HOSE/REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IF LEAKING.

LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE COOKER MUST NOT BE LIT UNTIL THE PRECEDING
PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FOLLOWED.
(ILLUSTRATIONS PAGE 17)
1. Check the appliance 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. Turn the regulator control toward the “ON” position. Press and hold down the valve igniter button
to start the flow of gas as per Figure 3. Insert a multi-purpose lighter through the hole in the
shroud as per Figure 4, or use a paperbook match as per Figure 5. Turning the regulator control
clockwise increases the gas pressure to the burner and hence the flame size. See Figure 2.
Continue to press down on the igniter button upon ignition for approximately 10 to 20 seconds
and then release the igniter button. The burner should remain lit. If ignition does not continue
(flame goes out) or fails to ignite, wait 5 minutes then repeat lighting procedure. If burner still
does not remain lit, check connectors and try again. If burner can not be successfully lit call Metal
Fusion, Inc. at [phone] (7:30AM to 3:30PM CST, Mon.-Fri.) for assistance.
5. 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 6).
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 19 for more information
regarding a yellow flame.

MAINTENANCE OF OUTDOOR COOKERS AND ACCESSORIES
1. The area where the cooker will be used must be kept clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Before each use of the cooker inspect and remove any
combustible items.
2. The flow of combustion and ventilation of air must not be obstructed. The cooker must be set in an open
area with 10 ft. (3.05m) of space on all sides and no roof or overhang overhead. Check the location and
placement of the cooker before each use.
3. Before each use of the appliance check the burner/venturi tube for insects, insect nests, and other
obstructions. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
4. Follow all Lighting Instructions in the Use and Care Manual each time the cooker is used. Check the flame
for proper color and appearance. The flame should burn with a primarily blue color. If a strong yellow
flame is present, this could indicate an obstruction in the burner/venturi tube.
If there is any obstruction or a yellow flame, and the air shutter adjustment has not solved the problem,
turn off the cooker and allow time for it to cool. Detach thermocouple nut from the bottom of the
thermoelectric valve. Detach thermoelectric valve from the venturi tube of the burner using an adjustable
wrench. Remove the air shutter using a phillips head screwdriver. Check the venturi tube with a flashlight
to see if there is a blockage. If a blockage is present use a wire such as a coat hanger to slide into the
venturi tube to remove the blockage. Reattach the air shutter to the venturi tube using the phillips head
screwdriver. Reattach thermoelectric valve to casting using an adjustable wrench. Reattach thermocouple
nut to the bottom of the thermoelectric valve. Light the cooker per the instructions in this manual. If this
does not resolve the problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at [phone].
5. Always use the gas shut-off system supplied with the appliance. Before each use of the appliance
check the LP hose for evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks. If there is any damage to the hose,
the hose/regulator assembly must be replaced prior to using the appliance. Contact Metal Fusion, Inc.
at [phone] for information regarding a replacement hose assembly. Only the LP hose/regulator
assembly specified by Metal Fusion, Inc. as part of the burner/gas train assembly should be used with
the appliance. Visually inspect all components of the burner/gas train assembly (see Figure 1, page 10)
and the pot’s wire assembly for any visible damage. Check the connectors for debris or contamination
prior to reattachment.
