reaches 430°F (221°C). This switch has a manual reset. The reset switch and
cover (B) is located on the front panel of the unit. See Figure 1. Determine what
caused the safety switch to activate and correct it. Possible causes include;
dirty oil, low oil level and element not properly submerged in oil.
To reset the temperature safety switch:

WARNING
Burn Hazard.
Do not touch hot liquid or heating surfaces while
unit is heating or operating.
Hot liquids and food can burn skin. Allow the hot liquid to cool
before handling. Do not drop or spill water into hot oil as it will spray
or splatter the hot oil out of the tank.
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Overheated oil or oil vapors can ignite causing a
fire. Monitor oil temperature, quality and level. Use
and maintain oil vapor removal system.
Heat oil carefully. If oil smokes, reduce heat. Do not leave unit
unattended. If fire occurs, turn unit off, cover until cool. Do not
put water on hot or flaming oil. Do not operate with oil below low
oil mark. Dirty oil has a lower flash point. Replace oil on a regular
basis. Maintain correct oil level. Use an oil vapor removal system
(hood) to reduce oil and grease buildup on wall or ceiling surfaces.
