Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

Operating Instructions

1. Add Oil: Pour cooking oil into the oil tank. Ensure the oil level is between the MIN and MAX fill lines. Do not overfill or underfill. The oil capacity is 22 liters.
2. Power On: Plug the fryer into appropriate electrical outlets. The power indicator light on the control panel will illuminate.

5. Frying Food:
   • Carefully place food into the fryer basket. Do not overload the basket, as this can lower oil temperature and result in soggy food.
   • Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil.
   • Fry food until it reaches the desired crispness and internal temperature.
   • Use the plastic handle on the basket to protect your hands from scalding.
6. Draining: Once food is cooked, lift the basket and hook it onto the basket hanger above the oil tank to allow excess oil to drain back into the tank.
