Warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away from the vents.

Questions and Answers
What does it mean when the words UNPLUG and PUSH alternately flash in the display panel and the unit keeps beeping?
The deep fryer has been overheated. The deep fryer is equipped with a sensor which will alert you if the unit has overheated. Overheating occurs if the unit is heated without oil or with insufficient oil. Older oil that has become thick may not conduct heat well and may also cause the sensor to trip. When the sensor trips, the following will occur:
1.The deep fryer will beep continuously.
2.The words Unplug and Push will alternately flash in the display panel.
3.The red and green signal lights will flash.
4.The unit will stop heating.
Whenever the unit has overheated, you will need to reset the fryer for cooking.
To reset the fryer:
1.Unplug the unit and allow the unit to cool.
2.Correct the cause of overheating; for example, make sure there is sufficient oil in the fryer, or if the oil is old, replace the oil with fresh oil.
3.After the unit has cooled, use the tip of a pen or pencil and push the red power reset button on the back of the control unit (Fig. A2, page 2). The unit will not operate until it is reset.
4.Plug the unit back in and reset the temperature and heat up cycle as described in steps 7 thru 9 on page 4.
