Place the fryer on a suitable bench or table.  Allow sufficient side space when using the reversible top 
cover as a side tray.  Position the fryer back enough from the bench top to prevent the drain valve to not 
extend over the edge. 
 

 

Check your local regulation codes.  (Some localities may require an exhaust hood and/or an 
approved fire extinguisher. 

 

Mount the control panel assembly on to the tank. WARNING: Do not lift the fryer by the control 
panel. 

 

Secure the control panel by tightening the two thumb knobs located on the back side. 

 

Plug the power cord into power outlet. 

 

Do a start-up test to verify the unit is working: 

 

Turn on the control panel’s power switch

 

 

On initial startup or if power causes the unit to go out, please hold down the Reset (RST Button) 
until unit stops flashing.  It is very important to hold down the button until this process is 
complete.  

 

You should hear a noise when the relay turns on 

 

The digital temperature read out should indicate a temperature 

 

Turn the temperature knob up to 200F 

 

Warning: Turn temperature knob back to “Off” after a couple of seconds

 

 

Turn the power switch off 

 

The heating element should be hot 

 

Test is completed, the fryer is now ready for use 

 

WARNING: Do not operate without any cooking oil. 

 
 Note: If digital display unit buttons accidentally get pushed causing the unit to display unknown 
readings, simply turn the Master Switch off then back on.  Please proceed with   Step #1 as listed above.

Fill the fryer tank with frying oil about ½ inch below the MAX fill line on the tank.   

3.

 

The fryer is now ready for use.

Cleaning 

6.

 

A fine mesh skimmer may be used to remove crust that forms during cooking periods or during 
the routine clean-up 

7.

 

To drain the cooking oil, use the drain valve.  An extension on the valve may be used to direct 
the oil flow.  To use the last remaining oil, block the back edge up slightly and also a baster may 
be use. 

8.

 

WARNING: Do not drain until the oil is cooled down 

9.

 

With routine cleaning, a fine grade steel wool may be used to remove the baked-on oil residue 
in the tank 

 

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
