Questions and Answers

What does it mean when the words UNPlUG and PUSH alternately flash in the display panel and the unit keeps beeping?
The deep fryer has been overheated. The deep fryer is equipped with a sensor which will alert you if the unit has overheated. overheating
occurs if the unit is heated without oil or water or with insufficient oil or water. Older oil that has become thick and solid fats may not
conduct heat well and may also cause the sensor to trip. When the sensor trips, the following will occur:
1. The deep fryer will beep continuously.
2. The words Unplug and Push will alternately flash in the display panel.
3. The red and green signal lights will flash.
4. The unit will stop heating.
Whenever the unit has overheated, you will need to reset the fryer for cooking.
TO ReseT The FRyeR:
1. Unplug the unit and allow the unit to cool.
2. Correct the cause of overheating; for example, make sure there is sufficient oil or water in the fryer, or if the oil is old, replace the
oil with fresh oil.
3. After the unit has cooled, use the tip of a pen and push the red PoWeR ReSeT BUTToN on the back of the control unit

Sometimes my deep fryer fails to preheat or the cooking process stops. Why?
If your fryer does not preheat or if cooking stops, check the following:
1. Check cord assembly to assure magnetic plug is attached to the appliance and the cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
2. Check to see that both guides on the front of the control unit are properly positioned in the tracks on the back of the base (see
Fig. e and F, page 3).
3. The reset button may have tripped and has not been reset; see the information above regarding resetting the fryer.
