WARNING  
Propane is heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. Keep propane tank, at all times, in a well ventilated area. If you  
smell gas leave the area immediately and call for help.  
Fully extend hose between propane tank and cooker to protect hose from contact with hot surfaces which could create a leak.  
Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.  
Do not use or store cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.  
Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). Store outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area, away from  
any heat source or open flame and away from childrens reach.  
Turn the cooker "ON" and "OFF" with the propane tank valve; use the regulator control valve ONLY to adjust the flame. Read all  
warnings on or accompanying propane tank.  
Disconnect the propane tank from the cooker when not in use. A safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve.  
7. Keep hands, face and hair away from burner. Use long matches or long-nosed lighter to light the burner. Do not wear loose  
clothing or allow long hair to hang freely while lighting or using cooker.  
8. Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pan over an open flame; the bottom of the  
pan could melt. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on top of the ring. Use  
caution to avoid knocking pan from retaining ring.  
9. Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid. In  
some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required. If spill-over/boil-over occurs, check to make  
sure flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could accumulate causing a highly flammable, very dangerous situation. Allow gas  
to dissipate prior to relighting cooker.  
10. Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping over the hose could overturn the cooker or  
knock pan of hot liquid from cooker causing severe burns.  
11. In case of grease fire, do not use water to extinguish flame. Turn gas OFF at propane tank and use fire extinguisher approved for  
use with gas appliances or other appropriate means to extinguish flame.  
12. Do not use this cooker on recreational vehicle or boat.  
13. Do not use this cooker for other than its intended purpose.  
14. Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be performed by The  
Brinkmann Corporation.  
15. Properly dispose of all packaging materials.  
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR COOKER.  
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL  
COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.  
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

NOTE: Make sure the male SAE fitting on the  
cooker is screwed into the air shutter  
and tightened securely. Do not  
over-tighten as the air shutter needs  
to move freely in order to adjust air  
intake. Check the attachment for  
proper connection every time propane  
tank is connected to cooker.  
PROCEED TO GAS LEAK TESTING” SECTION ON PAGE 4.

GAS LEAK TESTING  
THE GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED  
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS CONNECTED TO COOKER.  
WARNING  
Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area.  
During the gas leak testing procedure, always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit cigarettes.  
Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.  
If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank valve and regulator control valve off  
immediately. Always wait at least 5 minutes for gas fumes to dissipate before repeating procedure.  
Always use the propane tank valve to turn the unit ON and OFF. The regulator control valve is used to adjust the  
flame ONLY.  
Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporations Customer Service Department for  
replacement parts at 1-800-527-0717.  
1. Make sure the propane tank valve and regulator control valve are  
turned OFF.

2. Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air shutter (refer to  
Assembly Instructions). Attach POL fitting to tank (using f" wrench)  
and tighten by turning COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.  
Regulator  
3. Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid to three  
parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and connections. Apply a  
generous amount of the soapy mixture to the regulator, POL fitting,  
control valve, the entire length of hose and SAE fitting (located near  
the air shutter).  
4. With the regulator control valve in the OFFposition, open the  
propane tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise). Next, open the  
regulator control valve fully and check for bubbles at control valve,  
along the entire length of hose and at the SAE fitting. DO NOT LEAVE  
GAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. If soapy mixture starts  
bubbling, gas is leaking through the connection or hose. Turn the  
propane tank valve OFF and retighten the connection that is leaking  
gas. Repeat procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.  
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the propane  
tank valve OFF after each test.  
NOTE: POL fittings are made with  
a metal to metal seal and  
must be made very tight  
to prevent leaking.  
Watch For Bubbles  
5. Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES FOR  
GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNER.  
CAREFULLY FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSON PAGE 5  
TO LIGHT THE BURNER AND PROPERLY OPERATE THIS UNIT.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
PLACE THE COOKER OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE AWAY FROM  
ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. IN WINDY WEATHER, THE COOKER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN  
AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND. GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE  
PERFORMED EVERY TIME THE COOKER IS USED.  
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY  
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR COOKER.  
1. Make sure the regulator control valve is in OFFposition.  
Regulator Control Valve  
2. Fill metal cookware with desired amount of water or oil. Never fill pan more than  
half way to allow room for addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquids.  
Never place an empty pan over an open flame. Do not place pan on cooker at  
this time.  
3. Open the propane tank valve two full turns. Using a long match, hold the flame  
2" above burner porthole. Open the regulator control valve SLOWLY until the  
burner lights.  
WARNING: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the propane tank  
valve and regulator control valve OFF immediately. Wait at least 5 minutes until  
gas fumes have dissipated before attempting to light the burner again.  
4. After lighting the burner, open the regulator control valve until a large yellow  
flame appears. Adjust the air shutter valve on the cooker until the flame turns  
blue. Use the regulator control valve to adjust the flame accordingly.  
5. Place pan with liquid on cooker. The retaining ring allows placement of a 14.5"  
(36.8 cm) diameter pan. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on the  
retaining ring of cooker.  
WARNING: Before proceeding read all safety warnings and instructions  
carefully before operating your cooker.  
NOTE: Due to the intense heat from  
burner, it is normal for paint  
to burn off and discoloration  
to occur on cooker during  
the first few uses.  
6. Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best results, use a deep fry  
thermometer to check oil temperature. If oil begins to smoke, reduce the flame to  
avoid igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F (190° C).  
7. Use pan/pot with a cooking basket or strainer with handle to lower food into hot  
liquid. Lower food into the pan slowly. Frozen foods should be thawed to room  
temperature before placing in hot liquid. The temperature of liquid will drop when  
food is added. Adjust the flame to return to desired cooking temperature. When  
the desired temperature is achieved, reduce the heat to maintain temperature.  
Basket Holder  
8. Test food for doneness using a meat thermometer after removing from hot liquid.  
Use caution as food will be very hot.  
WARNING: Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan. Always  
grip pan handle with one hand while lifting basket with the other. Failure to do  
so could create a situation where you pull the pan off the burner spilling the  
contents onto yourself or someone else. Always hang basket directly over pan  
as illustrated. This allows hot liquid to drip back into the pan. Hanging the  
basket in any other way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot liquid.  
9. When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank valve OFF first,  
then turn the regulator control valve OFF.  
10. Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in the After-Use  
Safetyand Proper Care & Maintenancesections on page 6 of this manual.
