4. Operating Instructions

Operating your deep fryer safely and effectively:

1. Fill with Oil: Pour cooking oil into each tank, ensuring the oil level does not exceed the 'Max Fill Line' indicated inside the tank. Overfilling can lead to dangerous oil overflow during frying.
2. Connect Propane: Ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
3. Ignite Burners: Turn the control knob for the desired burner to the 'IGNITE' position and push in to activate the independent ignition system. Observe the flame through the hollow panels. Adjust the flame intensity by rotating the knob.

4. Monitor Temperature: Use the integrated thermometers to monitor the oil temperature. Allow the oil to reach the desired frying temperature before adding food.

5. Add Food: Carefully lower the fryer basket containing food into the hot oil. Do not overload the basket, as this can cause oil temperature to drop significantly and lead to uneven cooking or oil overflow.
6. Frying Process: Fry food until golden brown and cooked through. Use the basket hanger to allow excess oil to drain back into the tank.

7. Turn Off: When finished frying, turn the control knobs to the 'OFF' position and close the valve on the propane tank.

5. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your deep fryer:

• Oil Disposal: Allow oil to cool completely (at least 4 hours) before attempting to drain or dispose of it. Never pour hot oil down a drain.
• Cleaning Tanks and Baskets: Remove the fryer tanks and baskets. Wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior surfaces of the fryer with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Storage: Store the fryer in a dry, protected area when not in use. Disconnect the propane tank and store it separately in a well-ventilated area.
