Tank Preparation
Before operating for the first time, the inside of the fryer tank should be rinsed and thoroughly
dried before adding oil. See the Cleaning and Care section of this manual for cleaning instructions.
Prior to each use, check the drain valve to make sure it is securely closed and the drain plug is
fully tightened into place. Remove tank cover (if equipped) before turning the power on. DO NOT
operate this unit with the tank cover in place.
Filling the Tank with Oil
Initially fill the tank to the minimum oil fill line (fill lines are located on the interior side and rear
walls of the tank).
DO NOT
operate this unit with the cooking oil below the minimum oil level.
IMPORTANT:
Cooking oil expands upon heating. To safely bring the oil level up to the
maximum fill level, carefully add additional increments of oil as it heats until it
reaches the maximum fill line.
DO NOT
over fill the tank, as overfilling could result
in a dangerous situation.
Hot oil is dangerous
- be sure you have thoroughly read the Safety Precautions of
this manual.
DO NOT allow water to contact oil.
Only cook product intended for this
appliance. Do not attempt to cook products with high water content or with
surface moisture present. Do not operate in the rain or near any source of water.
Failure to keep water away from oil may result in explosion and severe burns.
Make sure appliance is completely dry after cleaning, including inside any drain
valves.
