Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug each power cord into a separate, grounded 110V electrical outlet. The green 'POWER LIGHT' on the control panel will illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Turn the 'TEMPERATURE SELECTION' dial to the desired frying temperature. Refer to the recommended temperatures on the control panel or a recipe. The red 'HOT LIGHT' will illuminate, indicating the heating element is active.
3. Preheat Oil: Allow the oil to preheat. The red 'HOT LIGHT' will cycle on and off as the fryer maintains the set temperature. This indicates the oil has reached the desired temperature.
4. Prepare Food: Ensure food is dry before frying to prevent oil splattering. Do not overload the basket.
5. Lower Food: Carefully lower the basket containing the food into the hot oil. Avoid sudden drops to prevent splashing.
6. Fry: Fry food until it reaches the desired crispness and internal temperature.
7. Remove Food: Lift the basket from the oil and allow excess oil to drain back into the tank. Place fried food on paper towels to absorb additional oil.
8. Turn Off: Once frying is complete, turn the temperature dial to the 'OFF' position and unplug the fryer from the power outlet.
