Using the fryer
Turning on and off
Turn the control knob clockwise, a, to turn the fryer on and counterclockwise, b, to "0" to turn the fryer off.
You cannot turn the control knob to "0" by turning the knob clockwise past 400 °F (200 °C).
Before frying
Before frying, make sure the reservoir has been filled with enough frying oil (min: 3 qt.(3 l) - max: 4 qt. (4 l)).
Only use oil or fat specifically for deep fryer use. Never mix different types of oils and fats.

The temperature indicator light, g, and the operating indicator light, h, will illuminate whenever the control knob is in any position besides "0".
The temperature indicator illuminates when the oil is heating to the selected temperature and goes out once the temperature is reached.
Never operate the fryer with the lid on.
Never turn on the fryer when it is empty or when the heating element is raised.
Correct procedure:
^Fill the oil reservoir. Solid fat should be cut into small pieces first.
^When reheating fat that has solidified in the reservoir, make a hole in the fat with a blunt utensil as far down as the heating element. This will allow any trapped water to evaporate.
^Turn the control knob to 212 °F (100 °C) and wait until the fat has completely melted.
Check the level in the reservoir after the fat has melted. It must be between the minimum and maximum levels as marked on the rear wall of the reservoir.
