Operating the Fryer

Check E-Stop Button, make sure it is in the OUT position.

Fill the tank to the minimum oil level with cooking oil.
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.

turn ON, and remain lit until the fryer has reached the cooking temperature.

To help maintain oil quality, periodically skim off excess batter (food) particles.
