OPERATION
DANGER: BURN HAZARD
Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns.
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.
CAUTION:
Hot Surface
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
Fig. 3 Temperature Control
Knob
Fig. 4 Oil Level Marking
NORMAL OPERATION
NOTE: The two sections of the fryer are completely separate, and can
be used and controlled individually.
1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to
OFF.
b. Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pulling back on
the ELEMENT LIFTING HANDLE, raising the ELEMENT HEAD
SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements into the
frypot.
2. Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the
MIN OIL line.
Capacity: 30 pounds (15 pounds each frypot).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the frypot. Cold oil will expand as it
heats. Adding too much oil will allow the frypot to overflow during
operation.
For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made
specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during
operation.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired
temperature. The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the oil
reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The
heat indicator will go off and on during operation as the thermostat
cycles to maintain temperature.
For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature
setting higher than is required for the food product.
4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.
DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets
uniformly to half full. Hang the basket on the BASKET LIFT.
5. Set the TIMER DIAL to the desired cooking time. Press the "PUSH"
button on the timer to lower the basket into the hot oil.
When food is cooked, the basket will be lifted out of the oil.
Handle the hot basket only by the basket handle.

OPERATION (continued)
DANGER: BURN HAZARD
Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns.
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.
6. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the fryer is ready to cook
the next load.
7. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save
power and extend the life of the oil. The fryer will return to
operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.
8. Keep the fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry
thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.
9. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more
often during heavy use.
CAUTION:
Hot Surface
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
NOTE: If the oil temperature
exceeds 440ºF, the hi-limit
safety will shut down the unit,
and light the red TROUBLE
light. To reset:
Allow the oil to cool, then
press the red button on the
back of the element head
until it “clicks” and stays in.
If tripping persists, see
Troubleshooting Suggestions,

OPERATION—SAFETY TEST SYSTEM™
DANGER: BURN HAZARD
Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns. Allow the fryer to cool before cleaning.
Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when performing this test.
The Safety Test System™
allows a positive test of the
function of the temperature
limiting (hi-limit) thermostat.
The hi-limit thermostat is
factory set for 440ºF (227ºC).
It will trip if the oil temperature
exceeds this setting, and
interrupt power to the heating
element.
CAUTION
Fire Hazard
Do not hold the TEST switch
for more than 2-1/2 minutes.
Should the oil temperature not
reach the hi-limit setting within
2-1/2 minutes, turn the power
switch OFF and contact an
Authorized Wells Service
Agent for repairs.
1. Fill the frypot to the MIN OIL line. Fresh oil is recommended to
minimize smoking.
2. Clip the TEST THERMOMETER to a
FRYER BASKET. Lower the fryer
basket into the oil. Be sure the dial
of the test thermometer can be
clearly viewed.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL KNOB to the maximum
setting, then press the POWER
SWITCH to ON. Allow the oil to heat
until the test thermometer reads to
“START TEST” (350ºF).
4. Press and hold the red TEST
SWITCH. The temperature of the
oil will rise, and the test thermometer
will read “TEST ZONE”.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT hold the TEST switch for more than
2-1/2 minutes.
When the oil temperature reaches the setting of the hi-limit
thermostat, the hi-limit will trip, the red TROUBLE light will glow,
and the heating element will be de-energized.
If the hi-limit thermostat trips while the test
thermometer is in the TEST ZONE, the test is
complete. The function of the hi-limit
thermostat is normal. Reset the hi-limit

5. Reset the hi-limit thermostat:
a. Turn the power switch OFF
b. Allow the oil to cool
c. Press the red button on the back of the element head until it
“clicks” and stays in.
