OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING

Take out baskets, push down and hold element catch,
located on left side of element housing, lift up on
element lift handle until elements lock in a vertical
position, and remove kettle. The kettle can be cleaned
in a sink like any other pot or container.

ADDING FAT

Replace kettle and swing the element down by holding
the element lift handle and pushing the release catch
down and holding it there. Lower the element. The
fryer is now ready for use. Add fat. A fat level line on
the rear of the kettle will guide you in determining the
minimum cold fat level. A higher fat level can be used
when frying bulky foods, such as chicken or fish cakes.
The fat level should be chosen carefully so that the
foaming action of the fat does not spill out of the kettle.
If solid shortening is used, pack it carefully around the
elements.
