SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

WHAT TO DO

IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Read this Use & Care Information carefully before using your new fryer module

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Make certain your unit is properly installed and grounded by qualified personnel.

WOLF FRYER MODULE USE & CARE

FRYER MODULE

The Wolf fryer module has an electronic temperature control that will enable you to

eal in flavor without absorbing any unneces-

s sary grease. In addition, the large fryer will enable you to handle large portions of small

tems or a food as large as a cornish hen.

FRYER MODULE ASSEMBLY

Place the wire basket hanger into the fryer basin. Hang either the large or small fryer baskets onto the basket hanger.

The low-profile lid cannot be placed on either the large or small fryer baskets until the handles are collapsed. To collapse the handles, pull the handle apart just above the basket and rotate the handle inward.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The wire basket hanger is reversible. The baskets have hangers on both ends so that you can latch them in the front or back, whichever you prefer.

VENTILATION OPTIONS

It is recommended that

you operate the Wolf electric fryer module with

ither a Wolf cooktop or Pro ventilation hood

e or hood liner. Contact your Wolf dealer for details.

WOLF FRYER MODULE USE & CARE

FRYER MODULE OPERATION

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

lean your fryer module thoroughly with hot

C water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and

rease left on the surface from the manufac-

g turing process.

Refer to Care Recommendations on page 14. Apply a stainless steel polish to protect the finish and add luster.

During the initial period of use, you may smell a light burning odor or see light smoke. Both these conditions are normal with a new fryer module.

Oil must be added to the fryer basin before turning the unit on. Serious injury or damage to the fryer module may result when pouring oil into a heated fryer basin.
