Regulator Control Valve

•  The Soapy Water Test must be performed each time gas cylinder is connected to appliance or 
   each time the appliance is used.
•  The Soapy Water Test must be performed outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
•  When performing the Soapy Water Test, always keep fryer away from open flames, sparks, or lit 
   cigarettes.
•  This Outdoor Gas Turkey Fryer is designed to operate with propane gas only.  This product will not 
   operate with natural gas. 
•  Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.
•  Always remove any cookware from turkey fryer stand when performing the Soapy Water Test.

PROCEDURE:
1.Remove any cookware from your fryer stand.

2. Turn regulator to OFF position, and turn the gas cylinder valve to the OFF
   position.

3. Prepare your soapy water solution by combining (1) one part dish washing 
   liquid with (3) three parts water to test for the possibility of any gas leaks in the 

hose or connections to regulator and the regulator connection to gas cylinder.  
Apply soapy water solution to the gas cylinder valve, regulator and along the 
hose to the burner. 

4. Turn gas cylinder valve ON (regulator control valve should be in  the OFF
   position) and observe gas cylinder valve for  bubbles.  DO NOT LEAVE GAS ON 

FOR MORE THAN 12 SECONDS.  If bubbles appear, stop, turn gas cylinder  
OFF, and  retighten the fitting.   Repeat test.

5. When the gas cylinder has been tested, follow timer operation instructions on 

page 10. DO NOT LIGHT BURNER. Open the regulator control valve one full 
turn and check for bubbles at regulator control valve, along the  entire length of 
hose and at the connection to the burner .  DO NOT LEAVE GAS ON FOR 
MORE THAN 12 SECONDS. If soapy mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking 
through the connection or hose.  Turn the regulator valve OFF and then the gas 
cylinder OFF and  retighten the connection that is leaking gas. After test  is 

   complete, and there are no leaks, wait a minimum of 5 minutes for gas fumes  

to diminish before lighting fryer.

6.Once testing is complete, press power button on timer to stop gas flow.
