4. During frying with oil, the thermometer dial indicator will continue to rise. Remain with the cooker and check the thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure the dial indicator
does not stop before reaching optimum fryng temperature range from 325˚F to 350˚F (162˚C - 175˚C).
5.This cooker can heat 3 quatrs of cooking oil/grease to 350˚F (175˚C) in 3 to 5 minutes.
6.DO NOT allow cooking oil/grease to exceed 400˚F (200˚C) which is the FIRE HAZARD zone on the thermometer. Cooking oil/grease will ignite and catch fire at 550˚F to 700˚F (287˚C to 371˚C).
7.Regardless of thermometer reading, if the oil/grease starts to smoke, turn OFF fuel supply to the burner and STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY. This indicates the thermometer is not working properly. Discard the thermometer and call

HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER AMOUNT OF LIQUID FOR COOKING
(For use with cooking vessels that have and do not have Maximum Fill Line)
Do not use a cooking vessel larger than
WARNING 
If too much water or oil is inside the cooking vessel, it is possible for spillovers to occur when adding a basket filled with food product, or during a rolling boil. Spillover of hot liquids can cause severe burns and property damage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.
BOILING WATER LEVEL DETERMINATION:
1.Place the food product in the strainer basket.
2.Place the food product and strainer basket into the empty vessel.
3.Add water into the vessel until the food product is completely submerged. There must be a minimum of 3 inches between the water level and top of the vessel.
4.Remove the food product from the vessel. The remaining water level indicates the amount needed to cook the food product. Typically, the amount of water needed for boiling is
STEAMING WATER LEVEL DETERMINATION:
CAUTION 
Never allow all water to evaporate completely when steaming as the heat from this cooker can melt a hole in the cooking vessel.
Typically 2 to 3 inches of water is used for steaming food products. Use cooking vessel (stockpots) having perforated baskets that are elevated above the water level. Be certain your stockpot has a vented lid for steaming.
