WARNING
Fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line with vegetable oil before pressing the
ON/OFF switch
to the "ON" position. Failure to do so could damage the frypot.
1.
Fill the frypot with vegetable oil to the bottom
OIL LEVEL
line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the
bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, pack solid
shortening into the cool-zone of the frypot. Continue to pack shortening in frypot to the bottom
OIL LEVEL
line.
2.
Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3.
Ensure that the vegetable oil level is at the
top
OIL LEVEL
line when the vegetable oil
is at its
programmed cooking temperature
. It may be necessary to add vegetable oil to bring the level up
to the proper mark,
after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature
. If solid
shortening is used, the MELT cycle
MUST
be used to melt the shortening. It may be necessary
to add solid shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the packed shortening has
melted. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE UNTIL ALL SOLID
SHORTENING HAS MELTED.
Shutdown
1.
Press the ON/OFF switch
to the "OFF" position (the display will show "OFF").
