A.When using oil, fill the fryer to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed into the back of the frypot.

B.When using a solid shortening, cut it into small pieces and pack it below the heat tubes, between the tubes and on top of the tubes, leaving no air spaces around the tubes. Do not disturb or bend the probe sensing bulbs.

C.Press the computer on/off switch to "ON".

D.When the frypot is filled and the oil is heated, carefully replace the crumb screen over the heat tubes. Wear oil-proof insulated gloves to avoid the potential for burn injury when placing crumb screen in frypot.
