WARNING
When using the fryer never fill over 4.0 gallons ( 15.1 L) . Doing so could result in the unit becoming top
heavy and creating an unsafe condition.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Follow all instructions for assembly and testing. Do not skip the warnings and instructions.
• Add the determined amount of oil 4.0 gallon into the frying chamber.
• Prepare your food for frying before lighting the fryer. Make sure food is completely thawed and dry.
Properly preparing food ahead of time allows the operator to never have to leave the fryer unattended and
reduce the risk of spillover due to oil boiling over.
• Light the burner on the fryer as described and adjust the flame intensity with the regulator control valve to
desired level.
• Stay beside your fryer. Once fryer is lit and has begun heating oil, do not leave the fryer unattended until
cooking is finished and the oil has cooled to 115
℉
( 46
℃
).
• Keep the lid open. The lid must remain open during heat-up and frying. Closing the lid during heat-up and
frying greatly increases the potential of over-heating the oil to ignition and cause a fire.
• Wait for the oil to reach optimum frying temperature approximately 16 minutes.
•Once the oil reaches 375
℉
( 190
℃
), reduce the burner flame to a low level.
• Frequently check the thermometer (every 3 minutes). Never allow the oil to reach a temperature over 400
℉
(204
℃
). This is labeled "FIRE HAZARD” zone in the thermometer.
• Use extreme care when slowly lowering food and utensils into and removing from hot oil. Slowly lower
food into cooking oil using protective gloves and use caution to prevent splashing and overflow. Place food
in basket and then lower into oil.
• When cooking is completed, turn off LP cylinder and allow propane gas to “bleed” from the regulator hose
and assembly. Then turn regulator valve to the OFF position.
• Disconnect regulator hose assembly from the LP cylinder.
Operating / Cooking Instructions
DANGER
• Hot cooking oil is extremely dangerous and must be monitored at all time during use and cool down
period.
• Immersing food into hot cooking oil causes a roaring boil while displacing oil. Overfilling the fryer vessel
with oil, allowing the oil to get too hot, or immersing frozen or wet food into hot oil can cause a spillover
resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
• This appliance does not have automatic thermostat controls. It must be monitored at all times during
heat-up, frying and cool down. Use the provided thermometer to monitor frying temperature.
• Oil heated above 400
℉
(204
℃
) will ignite and catch fire causing property damage, personal injury, or
death.
• Keep head, hair, and face away from exhaust vent when lighting. A flash flame can emit from the
exhaust vent during initial burner lighting, igniting hair and clothing.
• Keep Children and pets away from the appliance at all times.
