Features of the Fryer
1. The F series electric fryer is offered in 2 different models. One is a 1-tank fryer; another is a 2-tank fryer. The 2-tank
fryer can fry two different kinds of foods at the same time.
2. Oil temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator and includes a yellow (hot light) which cycles on and off to
indicate when desired temperature has been reached.
3. The automatic shut off feature will cut power when the oil has reached maximum allowable temperature. (446°F)
4. An automatic micro-switch is located at the bottom of the electrical enclosure. This will cut power from the electrical
unit if the enclosure is removed without unplugging the power cable.
5. The stainless steel tank has a removable oil insert with calibration marks for oil levels.
6. Heating coils are protected by a stainless panel base at the bottom of the unit.

Instructions for Fryer Usage
1. Please make sure the power supply you are using is adequate for continual fryer use and voltage is adequate. The
use of a surge protector or circuit breaker is advisable.
2. Fill oil receptacle with vegetable oil to between the minimum and maximum levels, allowing for food volume.
3. Make sure the temperature regulator knob is in the “OFF” position before you plug the machine into an outlet. Once
you plug the machine in, a green “Power Light” will come on. Then, rotate the temperature regulator knob clockwise
to the desired temperature indicated by the pointer. When the desired temperature has been reached, the yellow "Hot
Light" will turn off and cycle, and the temperature controller will maintain the temperature automatically.
4. Lift food basket up and away from machine to load food, and carefully place loaded basket into machine to avoid
splash. Gently shake off excess oil from food when removing from tank after frying.
5. The enclosed frying basket is intended to hold small foods such as French fries and onion rings. Large food can be
placed directly into the basket or oil tank.
Cleaning and Maintenance
