Fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line with oil before pressing the ON/OFF
switch to the "ON" position.
elements.
1. Fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will
allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line;
overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements,
then pack solid shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack
solid shortening around and over the elements. Never insert a solid block of shortening into
frypot on top of the elements. Hot spots and element damage will occur, and the potential for
flash-fire increases.
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating elements. To do
so will damage the elements and increase the potential for flash-point shortening
temperatures and subsequent fire.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its programmed cooking
temperature. It may be necessary to add oil to bring the level up to the proper mark, after the oil
has reached the programmed cooking temperature. If solid shortening is used, the MELT cycle
MUST be used to melt the shortening. It may be necessary to add solid shortening to bring the
level up to the proper mark after the packed shortening has melted. DO NOT DISABLE OR
CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE.
