AUTOFRY MTI-5 Rev. 2 Set-up and Installation

The AUTOFRY comes from the factory complete with everything you will need to
start cooking with the exception of food and oil. By following these simple

instructions you can have your AUTOFRY installed and ready to earn profits for
you in as little as 30 minutes.

Prepare electrical service.
A licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and

all local codes must install electrical service. Do not alter the factory supplied
power cord or plug. Never attach the AUTOFRY to an extension cord. Consult the

Identification Tag for equipment wattage and voltage.

Motion Technology, Inc. will not assume responsibility for

any injuries or equipment malfunctions resulting from

non-conforming electrical installations.

Prepare counter top.

Choose a counter top location that is sturdy, level, easily cleanable and fire
resistant. Stainless steel, fire resistant plastic laminate or solid surface materials
are acceptable. Never use a porous material to prepare food as bacterial
contamination could result.

cooking chamber by removing the two black plastic knobs securing

the cover plate (see Figure 4). " Remove the charcoal filter from the plastic
bag with the flange facing

down and facing you insert it into the tracks above the second filter
(see Figure 5).

the air (see Figure 5).

Install oil pot.

• Place the oil pot into the cooking chamber. Ensure that the taller of the
two oil pot handles is towards the rear of the cook chamber and that both
handles are fully lowered (see Figure 6).

Experience has shown that a light application of Kote® brand soil
shield or Pam® on the exterior surfaces of the oil pot will prove

helpful when it is time to clean the oil pot.

Install the heater box assembly.

? Install the heater box assembly onto the heater box deck located to the

left of the oil pot. Ensure that the heater box assembly seats firmly onto
the sockets (see Figure 7).
