Gas Pressure Fryer Operation
4. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and drumsticks. The
fryer is designed to accommodate 32 pieces of chicken.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the insulated
mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
5. Lift the basket approximately 2 to 3 inches (6.35 cm.) above the shortening and shake it. This keeps the
food from sticking together and causing white spots on the cooked food.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering basket into
pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
6. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot and remove the detachable handle.
7. Close the lid. Make sure the lid hook latches securely under the catch.
8. Tighten the spin handle until the lid is firmly sealed. Then line up the orange knob on the spin handle with
the orange knob at the front of the fryer.
9. Press the desired program number a second time. The red light above the program number will flash and
the computer will display “COOK”. This will start a countdown in minutes and seconds until the end of the
cycle.
10. At the end of the cooking cycle, the computer will display "DONE" and signal with a series of audible
"beeps". Press the selected number once again to stop the cook cycle. Fifteen seconds before the end of
the cook cycle, the program will automatically release the pressure from the fryer. For your safety, the lid
will not unlock, even at the end of the cook cycle, until the pressure has been fully released.
Hot steam will escape when you open the lid possibly causing severe injury. Keep your
face and arms away from the fry pot.
11. Slowly turn the spin handle counterclockwise to break the seal around the lid. Your fryer has a locking pin
that prevents turning the spin handle until the pressure drops to "0".
12. Slowly open the lid.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in injury. Always use the insulated mitts when
handling the hot fry basket.
13. Connect the basket handle then lift the basket and hang it on the front of the fryer pot to drain.
14. Empty the basket.
15. Remember to filter the shortening at least every third frying cycle load. Refer to the procedure in this
manual. Also filter the shortening and clean the fryer at the end of each day.
16. Close the lid and press the 0 button. Idle 255
F will display. This will automatically hold the shortening at
a cooler temperature.
17. To escape the idle mode, press the 0 button again and the fryer will heat to its original temperature.
18. When you have finished frying for the day, turn the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the OFF position.
19. Place the gas control ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
