DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN CONNECTION
Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not come into contact with sharp edges, and does
not contact surfaces that may become hot during use. Leak check all fittings before lighting cooker
(see gas leak test instructions on page 13).
Cooking
For drier, less greasy foods, start by adding a small amount of oil to Matador pan. Light your
appliance (Refer to Step 3 on page 9). Adjust inner and outer valves to desired settings and you’re
ready to begin cooking.
Cleaning
When finished cooking, turn gas OFF and discard any remaining food using a non-abrasive tool
(not steel wool). Rinse with water and wipe pan clean. For serious cleaning, heat water and mild
soap on high for 6-8 minutes. Turn off and let cool completely. Scrub with non-abrasive tool, then
discard water and wipe dry.
Storage
Disconnect propane. Store cylinder upright. Store LP gas cylinder away from appliance, outdoors
(out of direct sunlight and away from high heat) and out of reach of children. Store your cooking
pan and flame guard out of the elements in a cool, dry area out of reach of children.
