1. Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.
2. When frying chicken, lower the basket into the shortening by depressing the basket switch to the
DOWN position.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping
chicken into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening
splashes.
3. 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.
4. Activate the timer by pressing the START/STOP button on the digital timer. The timer will begin
the count down.
5. At the end of the frying cycle, the digital timer beeper will sound and the basket will automatically
rise to its top position. Press the START/STOP button on the digital timer.
6. Allow the basket to drain.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in injury. Always use the insulated
mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
7. Remove basket from the lift and empty carefully.
8. Return the basket to the lift.
9. 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. If you do not
plan to use the fryer for an hour or more, turn the thermostat down to 150
°.
10. When you have finished frying for the day, turn the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the OFF position.
