HS07567 3 Qt Deep Fryer Assembly & Operation Instructions
7
After cleaning the fryer parts separately, reassemble the fryer for easy storage by placing the oil pan into the fryer
base, sliding the heating element and control panel assembly into the grooves at the back of the base, and pushing
the heating element firmly to the bottom of the oil pan. The fryer will not operate unless the heating element assembly
has been inserted correctly into the fryer base. Place the fryer basket all the way down into the oil pan.
The handle can be separated from the fryer basket to accommodate a smaller storage space. To remove the handle,
squeeze the metal tines of the handle together and rotate to disengage from the fryer basket.

•
Check the temperature of the oil. The temperature may be set too low, or
the food has not been fried long enough. Check the food package,
recipe, or the recommended frying times chart for recommendations of
frying time and temperature
•
You may have too much food in the fryer. Adding too much food at one
time can lower the temperature of the oil, and result in uneven and
unreliable frying. Try again adding less food to the fryer. No more than a
single layer of food, or the amount recommended on the Frying Times
Chart should be added at one time.
•
More oil may need to be added to the fryer. Check that the fryer has
enough oil in the oil pan.
The fryer will not turn on, or heat
up the oil.
•
Check the power cord connection at both the fryer base, and at the wall
plug. The power cord must be securely and correctly attached at the
fryer base for the fryer to operate.
•
Make sure that the temperature dial has been set to the desired
temperature. Give the fryer at least 10 minutes to heat up the oil.
•
Check that the heating element has been correctly and completely set
into the fryer base. Incorrect assembly could cause the fryer to not
function properly.
•
Try resetting the fryer. This fryer is equipped with a sensor feature that
will automatically shut down the heating element if it overheats. Using
old think oil, or frying without enough oil in the oil pan can cause the
appliance to overheat. Turn the temperature control dial back down to 0º,
unplug the unit from the wall and allow the fryer to cool completely (this
could take 3-4 hours). Add the correct amount of oil to the oil pan, and
trip the reset button on the back of the heating element assembly, by
inserting a small pointed item, such as a paper clip.
