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 unit to power on (see pg.3). Power light will illuminate when control panel is mounted correctly and
power cord is properly attached.
How much oil do I need to use?
Fryer will require approximately 2.75 gallons (11 qts) of oil max. The MAX fill line is the maximum amount of
liquid that can safely be used in this unit. Filling to the line is more than enough water or oil to prepare most food
in this (see pg. 7).
What type of oil should I use?
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any common cooking oil may
be used.
How hot will the oil become?
Oil will reach 375°F (191°C) in approximately 35 minutes. Oil temperature will decrease when food is placed in
fryer.
Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit.
Can an extension cord be used with this unit?
No, extension cords will lose electric 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 could have been cold. Bring food to room temperature before frying.
Sometimes a cold or frozen spot does not allow that section to cook properly.
