overtighten as the galvinized heat shield can be damaged. Also, overtightening can prevent the wheels
from turning properly.
4.4. CASTER WHEEL ASSEMBLY -
Turn the cooker stand upside down on a at surface so that the open cavity
where the pot will be placed is facing down and the bottom metallic heat plate is facing up. Locate the
square pads on the bottom of the front two legs. There should be 4 holes in these pads. Insert (4)
round phillips head bolts (M8X16) through the mounting holes in one of the red locking caster wheels
(H) and into the holes on the square pads. Screw (4) lock nuts (M8) onto the protruding bolts on the

6.6. POT PLACEMENT AND STAND ADJUSTMENT -
Flip the cooker stand over and lock the brake on the caster wheels. Place the pot onto the stand
so that the threaded drain pipe on the pot is located on the opposite side as the jet tube and attached
hose/regulator. At this point use a phillips head screwdriver and make sure all pre-assembled bolts are
tight and that none have loosened during shipping.
7.7. SEAFOOD CHUTE ASSEMBLY -
Position the lid support system so that the lid can lay at across it as shown (see page 17, Figure
4.) Align holes in seafood chute (K) with the front two holes on the side of the pot lid. The seafood chute
must be installed below the pot lid when the lid is open as shown. Attach the chute to the pot lid by
inserting (4) hex phillips head bolts (M6X12) into the aligning chute and pot lid holes. Next, put (4) nuts
(M6) on the protruding ends of the bolts and hand tighten. Once all four bolts and nuts are installed,

DETERMINING PROPER FILL LEVELS FOR COOKING VESSELS
This appliance is only intended for heating water (not oil or grease.) This appliance is not for frying.
Never overfill the cooking vessel with 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.
c. Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged. There must
be a minimum of 3 inches (7.5 cm) 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 CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND
HOSE CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Loosen and remove the long silver wing bolt attached to the tank ring. Remove the tank
collar bracket from the tank collar by loosening the two short wing bolts. Place the LP gas
cylinder into the tank ring as shown above. Re-attach the tank collar bracket to the tank collar
with the two short wing bolts. Insert and hand tighten the long silver wing bolt to the tank ring to
secure the LP gas cylinder.
2. Check that your hose assembly valve is set to not allow gas flow. Turn the regulator control
counterclockwise until it stops. This is the OFF position.
3. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve by turning the Type 1 fitting clockwise. Hand tighten
with the regulator positioned upright.
4. Before lighting the cooker, check that the jet pipes and orifice(s) are free from obstruction. The
orifice(s) under the jet tube should be positioned pointing up directly through the tube as per
Figure 1. Both situations must be corrected if necessary before lighting to prevent flashback.
