HELPFUL HINTS
• We recommend that the lid stays on during use.
• The best oil to use is one with highest smoke temperature. Cottonseed and
peanut oil are considered the best, but vegetable and canola oil can also be
used.
• Anticipate to use two to four gallons oil for frying. DO NOT fill above maximum
fill line located on inner cook pot.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance. It may overload an electrical
outlet and will create a tripping hazard.
• Anticipate 50-60 minutes for oil to reach its maximum temperature of 400°F,
which is the recommended initial setting to fry turkey.
• Ensure that CONTROL PANEL is fully seated in mounting base or unit will not
work.
• After, fully cooled (under 100°F) oil can be filtered and refrigerated for use at
another time per manufacturer’s product guidelines.
BASIC USE INSTRUCTIONS
Fryer / Steaming Basket Safety Handle Instructions
• IMPORTANT:
Use protective equipment such as gloves or mitts when handling hot surfaces.
• CAUTION:
NEVER touch the STEAMING BASKET when hot. Always use the SAFETY HANDLE
when removing the STEAMING BASKET from the INNER COOK POT.
• Position the SAFETY HANDLE near the top edge of the STEAMING BASKET near the two
basket hooks. (IMAGE 1)
• Lower the SAFETY HANDLE underneath the hooks. Rotate SAFETY HANDLE clockwise so
it connects with both of the STEAMING BASKET hooks. Continue rotating the handle. The
STEAMING BASKET will turn slightly inside the INNER COOK POT once the handle is locked
into place on both sides. (IMAGE 2)
• IMPORTANT:
Make sure the SAFETY HANDLE is locked into place on both sides before
attempting to lift the STEAMING BASKET out of the hot oil.
• To remove, rotate the SAFETY HANDLE counter clockwise so it disengages with the STEAMING
BASKET hooks.
