Gas Pressure Fryer
4. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and
drumsticks, followed by breast and wings. The fryer will accommodate 32 pieces of chicken.
5. Lift the basket approximately 2 to 3 inches (6.35 cm.) above the shortening and shake it. This
keeps the food from sticking together and causing white spots on the cooked food.
6. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot and remove the detachable handle.
7. Close the lid. Make sure the lid hook latches securely under the catch.
8. Tighten the spin handle until the lid is firmly sealed. Line up the orange knob on the spin handle
with the orange knob (Lid Hook Handle) at the front of the fryer.
9. Press the desired program number a second time. The red light above the program number will
flash and the computer will display "COOK". This will start a countdown in minutes and seconds
until the end of the cycle.
10. At the end of the cooking cycle, the computer will display "DONE" and signal with a series of
audible "beeps". Press the selected number once again to stop the cook cycle (and the alarm).
Fifteen seconds before the end of the cook cycle, the program will automatically release the
pressure from the fryer. For your safety, the lid will not unlock, even at the end of the cook cycle,
until the pressure has been fully released.
11. Slowly turn the spin handle counterclockwise to break the seal around the lid. Your fryer has a
locking pin that prevents turning the spin handle until the pressure drops to "0".
12. Slowly open the lid.
13. Connect the basket handle then lift the basket and hang it on the front of the fryer pot to drain.
14. Empty the basket.
15. Remember to filter the shortening at least every third frying cycle load. Refer to the procedure in
this manual. Also filter the shortening and clean the fryer at the end of each day.
16. Close the lid and press the 0 button. Idle 255°F will display. This will automatically hold the
shortening at a cooler temperature.
17. To escape the idle mode, press the 0 button again and the fryer will heat to its original
temperature.
18. When you have finished frying for the day, turn the FILTER/OFF/FRY (#5) switch to the OFF
position.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the
insulated mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering
basket into pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
Hot steam will escape when you open the lid possibly causing severe injury. Keep
your face and arms away from the fry pot.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in injury. Always use the insulated mitts
