Starter Tips
For best results, read the following Starter tips before using this product.
Please keep in mind, this is an electric fryer. It has different heating characteristics than a gas fryer.
•
For safety: the heating element will only heat when it is properly attached to the mounting bracket (see as-
•
sembly instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may cause the circuit breaker to trip. Operating
any additional appliances on a separate circuit should minimize such occurrences. Tripping of the circuit
breaker will not damage either the unit or any household electrical systems.
Pre-heating oil or water may take thirty minutes or more depending on initial oil temperature and weather
•
conditions. Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For best results, completely pre-heat
unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods.
Reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent by keeping the lid on the pot during the pre-
•
heating and cooking processes.
For cooking a turkey-When the desired temperature is attained and the turkey is placed in the oil, the tem-
•
perature of the oil will naturally be reduced because of the lower temperature of the turkey. The LCD readout
will display the temperature throughout this process. Temperature is displayed when the turkey is placed in
oil and while the oil returns to desired cooking temperature.
“Recovery time” is the amount of time required to bring the oil back to frying temperature once the items
•
being boiled or fried are immersed in the liquid medium. This time can be best controlled by bringing foods
to ambient temperature and limiting the amount of foods placed in the fryer basket for immersion at any one
time. With larger pieces such as a 12-pound turkey, we recommend allowing oil to reach 375˚F prior to immers-
ing the bird and then setting the control back to 350˚F (the recommended frying temperature.)
When the desired heating temperature for cooking is attained, the heating element will automatically turn
•
off. When the temperature falls 5˚F, the heating element will automatically turn on again until the desired
cooking temperature is reached. This Automatic process will repeat and display on the LCD, as “heating”
and “Ready”.
To illuminate the Backlighting of the LCD display, press the “UP” arrow or the “DOWN” arrow.
•
The red power light illuminates only to indicate that the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. This
•
product will not commence heating until the “START” button is pushed.
The timer on this product is completely separate from and does not control the heating element. The Heat-
•
ing Element will not turn off automatically when the timer beeps.
The temperature controller for this unit
must be manually turned off.
When the LCD readout reads “ERR,” no buttons will function except On/Off. Turn the unit off immediately,
•
wait 15 minutes and then turn fryer back on.
Quick Drain System
Locate the two hooks on the inside of the pot not far from the upper
•
rim; these are the Quick Drain Hooks.
Two oval shaped holes can be found on the basket: One is labeled
•
“turkey” and the other is labeled “seafood”.
The basket is designed to hang from the hooks by slotting the Quick
•
Drain Hooks through either one of the two oval shaped holes in the
basket.
When proper cooking time has elapsed, you are ready to drain the
•
excess liquid from any food in the basket. While wearing protective
frying gloves, use the included metal hook to lift the basket by the
swiveling metal handle. Hang the basket from the Quick Drain Hooks
by inserting the hooks into either the “turkey” hole or the “seafood”
hole, depending on the type of food being cooked.
Allow the food to drain for at least a few minutes or until you are posi-
•
tive that most of the excess liquid has fallen back into the pot. NEVER
remove basket from fryer pot without first allowing the food to drain.
The Quick Drain System can also be used to steam seafood. Place
•
6 inches of water at the bottom of the pot, hang the basket from the
Quick Drain Hook labeled “Seafood,” and cover with the lid. Cooking
times will vary depending on the type of food being steamed.
