COOKING OIL
1. Make certain that bottom drain valve is closed
and burner turned off.
2. Set baskets inside the empty fryer. IMPORTANT!
3. Pour cool oil/grease into the fryer vessel.
4. Watch closely as oil rises and reaches the bottom
of the baskets.
5. Continue pouring oil until the bottom of the baskets are submerged between 1.5" to 2" deep.
Pour up to but not above the Maximum Fill Line marked on the back wall of the fryer.
NOTE: As oil heats up, it will expand and raise level inside the baskets to about 2.5" deep. As food is inserted,
oil level will rise further.

FILLING THE FRYER WITH OIL:
TOO LITTLE OIL:
(Less than 1.5" of basket submerged in oil when cool)
• Cooking oil will not cover the food and result
in uneven doneness.
• Thermostat will not be adequately submerged
and will not give accurate temperature
readings.
• Oil will not fully cover the heating tube resulting
in overheating of the oil and possibly ignition
and fire.
DANGER
TOO MUCH OIL:
(Oil filled above Maximum Fill Line when cool)
• Heat-up and recovery times will be slower.
• Immersing food will cause a furious boil
displacing upwards, greatly increasing the
possibility of a spillover.
• As oil heats up, it will expand and can result
in a spill over.
IF THESE WARNINGS ARE NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY; PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY,
OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.
MANAGING COOKING OIL:
• Monitor the temperature and oil level. You will have to occasionally make minor adjustments to the
regulator valve until steady frying temperature is achieved. Optimum temperature range is 325˚F to 350˚F.
• Never drop food or accessories into hot oil/grease. Wear protective gloves and S-L-O-W-L-Y lower
food and accessories into cooking oil in order to prevent splashing or overflow. Be careful when
removing food from oil. It is hot and could cause burns.
• If you need to add cooking oil because the level gets too low as a result of a long-term cooking period
(less than 1.5" of basket submerged in oil when hot).
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn off the fryer and LP Cylinder
2. Let cooking oil cool for 5 minutes
3. S-L-O-W-L-Y pour in new cooking oil - DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM FILL LINE
4. Follow instructions to re-light the fryer.
• When frying is finished, do not touch the appliance or handle the oil until it has cooled to
below 115˚F. The cool down period varies with the amount of oil used, wind and ambient temperature.
• In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking with oil,
close the lid and immediately turn off the burner and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE the fryer.
• Properly store or dispose or our oil. Do NOT store cooking oil
