8 B. THE GAS SYSTEM 1. GAS AND REGULATOR INFORMATION This cooker is designed for propane (LPG) gas use only. Gas bottles with a "POL" connection are to be used with this Crab Cooker Set. Suitable regulators must have an outlet pressure of 69 kpa. You must have the proper regulator and bottle in order for the Crab Cooker Set to operate safely and efficiently. Ensure that a 100% propane (LPG) refillable gas cylinder currently certified to Australian Standard AS2030.1:2009 is used. Do not use disposable gas cylinders. Please note the hose and regulator supplied with this unit are of an approved type and are specifically designed for use with your Crab Cooker Set. It may be hazardous to attempt to fit other types of Gas containers. 2. CONNECTING THE HOSE AND REGULATOR TO THE GAS BOTTLE Only use the hose assembly (3) supplied with this appliance for direct connection to the cylinder DO NOT USE ADAPTORS. Do not use any other hose assembly. Check the gas hose for damage or signs of abrasion before each use. Keep the hose clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces. Avoid twisting or kinking the flexible hose. If damaged, do not use the hose and replace it immediately. If there is any doubt, contact the customer service line on 1300 799 787. Make sure all Crab Cooker Set control knobs are in the off position. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder by inserting the regulator connection into the gas bottle outlet. This is tightened in an anti clockwise motion. Firmly hand tighten and then be sure to check for leaks at all gas connections. Please note that the hose is already fitted with a valve that connects to the burner. You do not have to adjust this connection but should leak test this once the hose and regulator are connected to the gas cylinder. Gas Bottle 3
3. LEAK TESTING Open the gas control valve on the cylinder. Check for leaks by brushing a solution 1/2 water and 1/2 soap over all gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose connections and regulator connections. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and re-tighten all joints. If bubbles form again, do not use the Crab Cooker Set. Please contact the customer service line on 1300 799 787. Check for leaks annually or whenever the hose and regulator are disconnected from the gas cylinder. 9 FOR STORAGE AND CYLINDER EXCHANGE, DISCONNECT THE CYLINDER ONLY. DO NOT DISCONNECT HOSE FROM APPLIANCE. C. INSTALLATION 1. CHOOSING A LOCATION This Crab Cooker Set is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Take care to ensure that the Minimum clearances: From sides: 1000mm, From back: 1000mm, From above (vertical): 1000mm. Keep this Crab Cooker away from any flammable materials! 2. OTHER PRECAUTIONS Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the Crab Cooker body. Also, position the gas supply cylinder on level ground next to the Crab Cooker Set and safely away from any source of heat. Should you need to change the gas cylinder, confirm that the cylinder is off, and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before proceeding. Be sure to inspect the gas hose and ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks, which could obstruct the free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot parts. Inspect the hose before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose from the manufacturer. The length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not be adhered to severe flare up may be experienced due to a lack of airflow around the Crab Cooker Set, thus voiding manufacture s warranty.

E. LIGHTING THE BURNER 11 Insure that the regulator control valve is in the off position. Slowly rotate the gas cylinder valve anti-clockwise to the on position. Using a long BBQ match or gas lighter for safety, insert a flame underneath the wind shield to the burner. Slowly rotate the regulator control valve to the on position until the burner ignites. If it takes more than five seconds for the burner to ignite, rotate the regulator control valve to the off position, then the cylinder valve to the off position and repeat the lighting process. IN THE EVENT THAT THE BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS, DO NOT RELIGHT THE BURNER FOR FIVE MINUTES. THIS ALLOWS THE REMAINING FUMES TO CLEAR. As soon as the flame is lit, the regulator control can adjust the heat setting of the burner. To increase the heat output the regulator control valve is turned in a clockwise direction marked with the on arrow and to reduce the heat output the regulator control is turned in an anti-clockwise direction marked with the off arrow. TURNING THE BURNER OFF If the burner is no longer to be used and to reduce the risk of the gas jet getting blocked, it is best to expel all gas from the hose assembly. With the burner still lit, turn the valve on the gas cylinder in a clockwise direction to the off position. Allow the flame to extinguish and then turn the regulator control valve to the off position. EMPTY GAS CYLINDER If the Gas cylinder is empty, the burner will not light. If the burner does not light, firstly check the gas cylinder and replace with a full cylinder. If after this the burner lights you can assume that your problem was an empty gas cylinder.

Use the triangle lifter as well as protective heat resistant gloves as extra protection when removing the inner basket from the pot. The triangle lifter is to lift the inner basket by the swivelling metal handle. Always make sure that children and pets are well clear of the pot and boiling water at all times. Extreme care should be used when handling the pot and operating the appliance. If you have finished cooking with the pot, do not reduce the flame to keep the water warm for later use.

F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE 13 Warm soapy water is recommended to be used to wipe down the surfaces of the appliance. CAUTION You must let the appliance cool down before you clean it. NEVER douse the crab cooker with water when the surfaces are hot. DO NOT submerge in water. DO NOT allow water to enter into the burner outlets or aeration holes 1. CARE OF BURNERS Ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the burner. Use compressed air or a pipe cleaner wire to clear obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces. On the burner outlet is an adjustable air shutter. This has been factory set and should not need to be adjusted. Adjusting this allows more or less air to enter the burner which will adjust the flame composition. 2.
