Safety Thermal Cut-Out 

 

This unit is designed with a safety thermal cut-out switch.  If the deep fryer overheats, the 
safety thermal cut-out switch will automatically discontinue the power to the heating element. 
This can happen if the fryer is not filled with sufficient oil or the solid frying fat is not melted in 
the fryer. In the case of solid fat, the heating element is not able to radiate the produced heat 
quickly enough.  
 

Frying with Solid Fat  

 

We recommend the use of frying oil or liquid frying fat. When using fresh fat, allow the blocks 
of fat to melt slowly on moderate heat in a normal frying pan. Carefully pour the melted fat into 
the fryer. After the use, store the fryer with solidified fat in a cool, dark area.  

CAUTION: If the fat is too cold, it can spatter when reheated. To prevent this, poke the solid 
fat with a fork. Be careful not to damage the heating element.

 

 

  

WARNING

:

 

DO NOT

 plug in or turn on the deep fryer without oil in the removable oil pot. 

DO NOT

 plug in or turn on the deep fryer if the oil is below the minimum recommended level. 

DO NOT

 fill the removable oil pot above the maximum recommended level. 

ONLY

 use oil or fats recommended for deep frying. 

 

 

 CAUTION

IN THE EVENT OF AN OIL/GREASE FIRE, NEVER

 

USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE

.  When 

water comes into contact with hot oil or grease, it will immediately vaporize and spread the oil 
or grease, inducing fire. 

Fire caused by oil or grease should 

ONLY

 be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by 

smothering with baking soda, salt or fire fighting foam.
