OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEAN KETTLE BEFORE USING

Take out baskets, push and hold element catch, 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, making
fryer 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 carefully around the elements.
