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.
