Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when cleaning the fryer.
CAUTION: SLIP AND FALL HAZARD
Clean up oil spills immediately. Slipping in oil can cause injury.
CAUTION: HEALTH HAZARD
Clean up oil spills immediately. Oil provides an environment for the growth of bacteria,
which presents a health hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1
The hi-limit safety is designed to shut down the fryer if the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF. A build-up of cooking debris between the
heating element and the thermobulb of the hi-limit safety will cause the hi-limit to trip prematurely. Clean the element so that oil may
circulate freely between the element and the thermobulb. Reset the safety by pressing the red button on the bask of the element
head.
2
A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb temperature control thermostat will cause inconsistent
temperatures. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely between the element and the thermobulb.
