5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Frying

1. Add Oil: Pour cooking oil into the 10 Qt aluminum pot. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
2. Insert Thermometer: Place the thermometer into the oil to monitor temperature.
3. Light the Burner: Open the propane tank valve slowly. Use a long lighter or match to ignite the burner through the ignition hole. Adjust the gas regulator to achieve the desired flame intensity.
4. Heat Oil: Heat the oil to the recommended frying temperature (typically 350-375°F or 175-190°C).
5. Prepare Food: Ensure food is dry before frying to prevent splattering. For zoned cooking, use the individual partition in the strainer basket.
6. Fry Food: Carefully lower the strainer basket with food into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the basket. Fry until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain: Lift the basket and hook it onto the pot's edge to allow excess oil to drain.

2. Light the Burner: Follow the same lighting procedure as for frying.
3. Boil Water: Heat the water to a rolling boil.
