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
