Getting Started - Masterbuilt BUTTERBALL MB23015018 Operation Manual And Safety Instructions

Getting Started

• FOR BEST RESULTS, read the following start-up tips before using this appliance. Remember this is an
ELECTRIC appliance and has different characteristics than a gas appliance.
• FOR SAFETY, the heating element only heats up when properly attached to the mounting bracket. This is a
powerful heating element and may cause a circuit breaker to trip. This can be minimized by operating any
additional appliances on a separate circuit. Tripping a circuit breaker will NOT damage the appliance or
your electrical system.
• PREHEATING oil or water may take up to 25-35 minutes. Take advantage of this time to prepare food for
cooking. For optimal performance, completely preheat appliance to cooking temperature before frying
or boiling food. Keep lid ON during preheating and cooking. This will reduce heating time and keep
temperature more consistent.
• POWER LIGHT (red) will turn ON indicating that the breakaway power cord is plugged into an outlet.
• READY INDICATOR LIGHT (green) will turn ON when set temperature is reached. The indicator light will turn
off if the oil or water temperature falls below the set temperature and will turn on again once the oil or
water returns to the set temperature.
