Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my fryer turn on?
The control panel features a "safety switch" that must be mounted properly on the mounting bracket of
the outer shell for the appliance to power on. See step 2 on page 7. The power light will illuminate when the
control panel is mounted properly and the breakaway power cord is properly attached.
How much oil do I need to use?
The fryer will require approximately 1.3 gallons (5.2 qts.) of oil max. The middle of the MAX fill line is the
maximum amount of liquid that can safely be used in this appliance. Filling to the line is more than enough
water or oil to prepare most food.
What type of oil should I use?
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any cooking oil may be
used.
How hot will the oil become?
Oil will reach 375°F (191°C) in approximately 25-35 minutes. Oil temperature will decrease when food is
placed in the fryer.
Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes. The lid helps retain heat and keeps splatter inside of the appliance.
Can an extension cord be used with this appliance?
No. Extension cords will lose electrical current resulting in increased cooking time and decreased
performance. Extension cords can also pose a trip hazard.
I followed the formula and the food did not fully cook. What went wrong?
Cooking conditions may vary. Food may have been cold. Sometimes a cold or frozen spot does not allow
that section to cook properly.
