The Red High-Limit Indicator Light is illuminated as a result of
power being shut off to the fryer’s heating elements by the built­in solid-state control circuit as a safeguard against overheating.
Should this light come on during operation, refer to the
Troubleshooting Section 7 of this manual. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
COOK IF THE HIGH-LIMIT LIGHT IS ON!

High-Limit Indicator4
