Magic Chef MCSDF6ST instruction manual Safety Thermal Cut-Out, Frying with Solid Fat

Safety Thermal Cut-Out

This unit is designed with a safety thermal cut-out switch. If the deep fryer overheats, the safety thermal cut-out switch will automatically discontinue the power to the heating element. This can happen if the fryer is not filled with sufficient oil or the solid frying fat is not melted in the fryer. In the case of solid fat, the heating element is not able to radiate the produced heat quickly enough.

Frying with Solid Fat

We recommend the use of frying oil or liquid frying fat. When using fresh fat, allow the blocks of fat to melt slowly on moderate heat in a normal frying pan. Carefully pour the melted fat into the fryer. After the use, store the fryer with solidified fat in a cool, dark area.

CAUTION: If the fat is too cold, it can spatter when reheated. To prevent this, poke the solid fat with a fork. Be careful not to damage the heating element.

WARNING:

DO NOT plug in or turn on the deep fryer without oil in the removable oil pot.

DO NOT plug in or turn on the deep fryer if the oil is below the minimum recommended level.

DO NOT fill the removable oil pot above the maximum recommended level.

ONLY use oil or fats recommended for deep frying.

CAUTION:

IN THE EVENT OF AN OIL/GREASE FIRE, NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. When water comes into contact with hot oil or grease, it will immediately vaporize and spread the oil or grease, inducing fire.

Fire caused by oil or grease should ONLY be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or by smothering with baking soda, salt or fire fighting foam.
