ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STARTER TIPS

FOR BEST RESULTS, READ following start up tips before using this product.
Remember this is an ELECTRIC unit and has different characteristics than a gas unit.
FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to mounting
bracket (see assembly instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may
cause circuit breaker to trip. Minimize occurrences by operating any additional
appliances on separate circuit. Tripping circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or
household electrical system.
PRE-HEATING oil or water may take up to 55 minutes. Take advantage of this time to
prepare foods for cooking. For optimum performance, completely pre-heat unit to
cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods. Keeping lid ON during pre-heating
and cooking cycles will reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent.
INDICATOR LIGHT will turn ON when heating liquid in unit. It will turn OFF when
liquid has been heated to designated temperature. Indicator light may turn on and off
during cooking as heating element works to maintain a constant temperature.
POWER LIGHT will illuminate indicating power cord is plugged into outlet. Unit will not
start heating until START button is pushed.
TIMER is NOT connected to heating element. Element WILL NOT TURN OFF when
timer beeps.
