OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING

Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch, located on left side of element 
housing. Lift up on element lift handle until element locks in a vertical position, and remove 
kettle.  The kettle can be cleaned in a sink like any other pot or container.

ADDING FAT

Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding element lift handle and pushing 
release catch down and holding it there.  Lower element. Fryer is now ready for use.  Add 
fat.  A fat level line on the rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the minimum cold 
fat level.  A higher fat level can be used when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fi sh 
cakes.  The fat level should be chosen carefully so that the foaming action of the fat does 
not spill out of the kettle.  If solid shortening is used, pack carefully around the elements.

CONTROLS

1.  ON/OFF TWO-POLE SWITCH - Located on the front panel is a two-pole switch which 

turns power on or off.

2.  THERMOSTAT CONTROL - Located on the control housing, this control allows you to 

select the desired frying temperature.  A signal light indicates when the element is on.  
When the light goes off, the desired temperature has been reached.

3.  HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT - Should fat temperatures reach 450° F (230° C), this control 

will shut off the power.  The light on the control panel will go out.  The fat temperature  
must cool to 400° F (202.4° C) and the manual reset button located on the back panel 
of the control housing must be pressed to restore operation.  Should the hi-limit control 
activate twice in succession, the primary thermostat should be checked for malfunction 
by a qualifi ed service technician.

FRYING

After fat has been added, turn the switch on and set the thermostat at 200° F (92.4° C).  After 
the fat has melted, turn the thermostat to the desired setting.  Included in this instruction 
booklet is a frying chart and some helpful hints on fat use.  After the selected fat temperature 
has been reached, the signal light goes out.  Slowly lower half fi lled baskets into the fat.  
Do not overload baskets as this causes foods to be improperly fried.  When moist food is 
lowered too quickly into hot fat, the fat will foam and spatter excessively.

NOTE:  Baskets should be allowed to drain after frying cycle.  The kettle 
handles serve as basket hangers.

IDLING

During idle periods turn thermostat control to approximately 200° F (92.4° C).  The fast 
recovery fryers can be brought up to frying temperature in a matter of minutes.  Lowering 
the temperature during idle periods saves energy costs and prolongs fat life.  To turn off 
fryer turn the on/off switch to the "off" position.
