STARTER TIPS

FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to the mounting bracket (see assembly instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may cause circuit breaker to trip. Minimize occurrences by operating any additional appliances on a separate circuit. Tripping the circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or household electrical system.

PRE-HEATINGoil or water may take up to 55 minutes to reach cooking temperature. Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For optimum performance, completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods.

Keeping lid ON during pre-heating and cooking cycles will reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent.

INDICATOR LIGHT (green) will turn OFF when heating liquid in unit. It will turn ON when liquid has been heated to designated temperature. Indicator light may turn on and off during cooking as heating element works to maintain a constant temperature.

WARNING: Do not use appliance without water or oil in pot. It can be severely damaged if heated while empty.
