THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
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 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.
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.
7. This appliance is not for frying turkeys.
13
SECTION II
USE AND CARE
Throughout this manual the words appliance, cooker, fryer/boiler, burner and stove will be used
interchangeably to refer to the King Kooker®Outdoor Cooker.
DETERMINING PROPER FILL LEVELS FOR COOKING VESSELS
Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Never fill a pot beyond the maximum
fill line. If the pot being used does not have a maximum fill line, follow these instructions to determine
the amount of cooking liquid to be used:
a. Place the food product in or on the holder.
b. Place the food product and holder into the empty vessel.

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.

LP GAS CYLINDER INFORMATION
King Kooker® Outdoor Cookers are manufactured for use with 20lb. (9 kg) LP Gas Cylinders. Important
information to remember about LP Gas cylinders include:
1. Always read and follow the cylinder manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make sure that the gas cylinder is not overfilled. The maximum weight of a properly filled 20 lb. (9 kg) LP
gas cylinder is approximately 38 lbs (17 kg). Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
3. Make sure that the cylinder valve has the proper connection for a Type 1 appliance fitting.
4. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
5. Disconnect the cylinder from the cooker for storage.
6. Store the cylinder out of the reach of children.
7. Do not use or store the cylinder in a building, garage or enclosed area.
8. Always use a 20 lb. (9 kg) cylinder in the proper upright position for the proper vapor withdrawal. It should
also be stored and transported in the upright position.
9. The cylinder must have a protective collar to protect the cylinder valve.
10. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
11. Cylinder must be turned OFF while not in use.
ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THESE AND THE CYLINDER MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN HAZARD OR CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING WHICH COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
14
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that your control knobs are set to not allow gas flow. Push in and turn the control knobs clockwise
until they stop. This is the OFF position.
2. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve by turning the Type 1 fitting clockwise. 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(s) located
on the valve(s) is properly threaded into the venturi tube. 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.

PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never operate this appliance within 10 ft. (3.05m) of any structure, combustible material or other
gas cylinder. Never operate this appliance within 25 ft. (7.5m) of any flammable liquids or vapors.
2. There must be no combustibles or roof overhead.
3. Keep 24” (.61m) of space between the LP gas cylinder and the appliance.
4. The LP gas cylinder and appliance must be located so that any wind is blowing the heat of the
appliance away from the propane cylinder. This also helps fire prevention by blowing the flames of a
grease fire away from the propane cylinder.
5. Center the pot over the burner on the cooker. If using the griddle, ALWAYS follow the installation
instructions located on page 11. When cooking with a pot(s), do not install the griddle.
Do NOT use any pot larger than the recommended size for your cooker as listed below:
Model # Maximum Pot Size Pot - Height/Diameter
CSR2G 22qts. (20.82 L) 11.5”H (29.21 cm) X 12.5”D (31.75 cm)
(When cooking with a pot(s), do not install the griddle.)
Keep twenty-four inches between the cylinder and the appliance. Placing the
cylinder too close to the appliance could result in fire or explosion which could cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
The hose connecting the appliance to the tank poses a trip hazard. Do not step over the
hose or walk between the cylinder and appliance. Tripping could cause the appliance
or cylinder to tip over, leading to fire or explosion which could cause property damage,
personal injury or death.

LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE COOKER MUST NOT BE LIT UNTIL THE PRECEDING
PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FOLLOWED.
*Your model has multiple control knobs that work independently. Follow below instructions for
each control knob and casting.
1. Check the cooker to make sure that it is set up as per the diagram (Figure 1).
2. Make certain the control knobs are turned to the “OFF” position by turning them clockwise until
they reach the stop position.
3. Open the cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 2).
4. Place a lit multi-purpose lighter or paperbook match through the hole on the face panel as
shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Turn the control knob toward the “ON” position until ignition
occurs. Turning the control knob counterclockwise increases the gas flow to the burner and
hence the flame size (Figure 5).
When lighting the cooker, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the control knob and
cylinder valve off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
5. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting
(Figure 6). 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.
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 pages 18-19 for
more information regarding a yellow flame.
6. Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process
the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the control knob(s) and cylinder
valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse and relight the cooker according to the lighting
instructions (#1 - #5) in this section.

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. Use a wire such as a coat hanger and
insert it through the opening of the air shutter and into the venturi tube of the burner to remove
any blockage. Light the cooker again as per the instruction manual. If this does not resolve the
problem, please proceed to instruction #5 for futher directions.

5. To check for possible blockages in the casting(s), follow the directions for your model below:
The gas handling components of your cooker (castings/manifold) have been pre-assembled for your
conveniance. Use care when following the below directions as gas handling components can easily
be damaged if mishandled.
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the nut connecting the casting to the flat bar bracket which is
welded to the shroud. Carefully pull the casting away from the valve stem on the back side of the face
panel. The valve stem, which contains the orifice, is pre-installed into the casting’s venturi tube. 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. Once the blockage has been
removed, reassemble by carefully sliding the casting’s venturi onto the valve stem (with orifice.) Make
sure valve stem is inserted fully into the venturi. Re-attach the casting to the flat bar bracket welded to
the the windshroud. Tighten with supplied nut. Light the cooker again as per the instruction manual.
If this does not resolve the problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at [phone].
6. Always use the LP Hose/Regulator assembly 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. should be used with the appliance.
7. For purchase of any replacement parts which may have become damaged or lost, please contact
Metal Fusion, Inc. at [phone] between the hours of 7:30am-3:30pm (CST) Monday through
Friday.
8. Cleaning of the appliance:
Cooker and LP Hose/Regulator: If neccessary, remove any oil or liquid which has spilled onto
the unit during cooking with mild soapy water on a rag and towel dry. Do not immerse the
burner unit or hose and regulator into water as this will cause rust.
Aluminum or Stainless Steel Pots: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 21.
Cast Iron Cookware: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 21.
Thermometer: Clean after each use with mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not submerge in
liquid or put in dishwasher.
Griddle: Clean according to the directions on page 20.

The steel griddle included in your package needs to be cleaned before initial use. After each use of
the steel griddle it also needs to be cleaned and properly stored to prevent rusting. Follow the below
instructions for proper care and cleaning of your steel griddle.
PREPARING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE
Your steel griddle needs to be cleaned before using it to cook for the first time as it has been
covered with a resin to keep the metal from rusting. Wash with a dish washing liquid and towel dry
thoroughly. Do not let your steel griddle air dry, as this can promote rust. Once washed and dried
thoroughly, the steel griddle must be seasoned using cooking oil.
SEASONING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE
Apply a thin, even coating of MELTED solid vegetable shortening, or cooking oil of your
choice, to the clean steel griddle, inside and out. The steel griddle must then be heated using the
outdoor cooker approved for use with the steel griddle. Place the steel griddle onto the cooker frame
and light according to the instructions provided in the cooker manual. Heat steel griddle for a few
minutes until its entire surface is hot. Turn off the heat and let the steel griddle cool to room tempera-
ture. Remove any excess grease from the cooking surface and channel of the steel griddle with a
paper towel. Reapply a thin layer of MELTED solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil to the steel
griddle and repeat the heating/cooling process. This cycle may need to be repeated a few times.
Make sure to wipe off excess grease that tends to collect on the cooking surface/channel of the
steel griddle before reheating to prevent a thick, gel-like coating from forming. After several coats of
oil have been burned into the steel griddle, its surface will develop a tacky, oily surface and will be
ready for cooking.
WARNING: The steel griddle will become very hot on the cooker. NEVER attempt to
move the griddle and appliance until it has completely cooled [ 100 ° F (38 ° C] .
USING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE
Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly. Before cooking, apply vegetable
oil to the cooking surface of your steel griddle and pre-heat the steel griddle slowly (always start on
low heat, increasing the temperature slowly). Once the steel griddle is properly pre-heated, you are
ready to cook.
Tip: Avoid cooking very cold food in the steel griddle, as this can promote sticking.
CLEANING YOUR STEEL GRIDDLE AFTER COOKING
Once the steel griddle has cooled from cooking, rinse with hot water (do not use soap.) Avoid
putting a hot griddle into cold water. Thermal shock can occur causing the metal to warp or crack.
Do not wipe with a towel after
rinsing. Dry the steel griddle over the burner set on high heat. Carefully brush in a thin coating of
melted vegetable
shortening or cooking oil onto the cooking surface of the steel griddle, letting it burn thoroughly into
the metal. Turn off the heat source and let the steel griddle cool completely. Wipe off any excess
grease and then store the steel griddle in a dry area for its next use. NEVER wash in dishwasher.
If for some reason your steel griddle develops rust spots or a metallic smell or taste, scour off
the rust using a very fine grade of sandpaper or steel wool. Once rust is removed, follow the above
instructions for seasoning your steel griddle again.
