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 Mr. Outdoors® 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
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.
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.

f. This is the amount of cooking liquid the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.

14
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.
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 the instructions on page 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.
1. Check the cooker to make sure that it is set up as per the diagram (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. 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.
5. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted from every port in the casting (Figure 5). 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 page 18 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 regulator 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.
NEVER PUT HANDS OR FACE DIRECTLY OVER BURNER WHILE LIGHTING OR
WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS LIT.

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. Disconnect the hose from the cooker.
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 screwdriver. Assemble and light the cooker again as per the instruction manual. If
this does not resolve the problem, please call Metal Fusion, Inc. at [phone].
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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 19.
Cast Iron Cookware: Clean after each use according to the directions on page 19.
Thermometer: Clean after each use with mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not submerge in
liquid or put in dishwasher.

NEVER PLACE AN EMPTY ALUMINUM OR STAINLESS STEEL POT ON A LIT COOKER. A hole
will be burned in the bottom of the pot. Discoloration, scratching, and dimpling may occur with the
use of pots on outdoor cookers. This does not affect the performance of the pot.
Do not store used oil inside your aluminum pot. The salt used in cooking can corrode the pot causing
the pot to leak. Wash the pot after each use with hot, soapy water and rinse.
SEASONING & CARE OF CAST IRON COOKWARE
New Cast Iron Pots are coated with paraffin to prevent rusting. Before using for the first time, wash
with mild soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive detergents. Grease the entire
surface of the cookware with a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening. Do not use salted fat
(margarine or butter). Heat for 30-60 minutes in oven at 300-350°F (149-177°C). Remove from oven,
pour out excess grease, and wipe with a paper towel. This completes the seasoning process. Each
time the cast iron is used, coat the entire surface with a thin coat of solid vegetable shortening, wipe
with a paper towel, and store.

TIPS FOR CARING FOR
ALUMINUM FRY PANS AND BOILING POTS
It is not necessary to season aluminum pots before cooking with them. Wash with a liquid dish
washing detergent and towel dry.
After cooking, wash aluminum pots and fry pans in hot, sudsy detergent. If grease or black soot has
cooked to the outside of the pot while cooking with your outdoor cooker, scrub the outside of the pot
with a steel wool scouring pad.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER ON ALUMINUM POTS TO REMOVE GREASE OR SOOT. OVEN
CLEANER WILL CAUSE THE FINISH TO BECOME DULL.
If food remains stuck in the pan after cooking, add hot water and let soak. Then scrub the pan with
soap and steel wool to loosen the food.
If hard water causes darkening on the interior of your pot, fill to the level of the darkened area with a
water and cream of tartar or vinegar solution (mixed with the concentration of three cups of water to
one tablespoon cream of tartar, or vinegar). Boil five to ten minutes.
INFORMATION REGARDING COOKING OIL
A good liquid vegetable oil must be used for deep frying.
SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING USED COOKING OIL:
After initial use, let the oil cool. While slightly warm, filter out particles before storing in original container or
similar sturdy plastic or glass container. This can be accomplished by using filter paper (coffee filters) or a
clean cloth (dishtowel). Never pour hot oil into a container. For best results store oil in a cool place. It can be
reused within 30 days. Discard after second use or when the flavor of reheated oil becomes objectionable to
taste.
Helpful Hint: Try frying a batch of french fried potatoes after cooking. This aids in improving the flavor of the
oil for the next use.

Fried Seafood
Wash and drain seafood. Remove any excess moisture. This will reduce splashing and popping
in hot oil. Thoroughly coat seafood with King Kooker®Seasoned Fish Fry. Place in oil or shortening at
325 - 350°F (163- 177°C) and cook until golden brown on all sides. Heavier breading may be obtained
by dipping seafood in a mixture of egg and milk before coating with seasoned fish fry.
Fried Chicken
Ingredients: Chicken, oil, milk, eggs, Chicken Fry, skillet or aluminum pot.
Cut, wash and drain chicken pieces. Dip pieces into a mixture of beaten egg and milk. Coat with
Chicken Fry. Heat oil to 350°F (177°C). Place chicken into oil and cook until done. Cooking outdoors
with a large skillet allows for larger quantities to be prepared in less time.
Blackened Fish
Heat a cast iron skillet for at least ten minutes on your Mr. Outdoors®. Allow the skillet to get
almost white hot -- hot enough to see the “flame circle” in the center of the skillet. This recipe
produces lots of smoke.
Fish fillets should be 1/2” (1.25 cm) thick for best results. Dip fillets in melted butter or margarine
and shake King Kooker®Blackened Redfish Seasoning on both sides of fillets. Drop into the skillet
and cook for 45 seconds on each side. Serve piping hot.
Barbecue Shrimp
Ingredients: 2 lbs. large shrimp, 1 stick butter or margarine, 4 tablespoons King Kooker®
Blackened Redfish Seasoning.
Melt butter over medium heat in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients. Add seasonings and
shrimp. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Shrimp are ready when they are a
pretty pink color.
