Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering basket into
pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
5. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot and remove the detachable handle.
6. Close the lid. Make sure the lid hook latches securely under the catch.
7. Tighten the spin handle until the lid is firmly sealed. Then line up the orange knob on the spin handle with
the orange knob at the front of the fryer.
8. Activate the timer by placing the timer switch in the ON position to begin the countdown.
9. At the end of the frying cycle the timer buzzer will sound and the fryer will automatically release pressure
into the baffle box. Set the timer to OFF. If the timer knob is set at 0, the timer will continue to buzz
regardless of the position of the ON/OFF switch.
10. When the pointer on the pressure gauge is at zero, wait 5 seconds then slowly
turn the spin handle
counterclockwise to break the seal around the lid. The fryer has a locking pin that prevents turning the
spin handle until the pressure drops to zero. Do not force the spin handle to open the lid.
