QUESTIONS
Why can’t I turn my turkey fryer on?
The Control Panel includes a “Safety Switch” positioned in the mounting rails.
The rails must be aligned and seated in the bracket on the back side of the outer
pot correctly for element to power on.
How much oil do I need to use?
Frying with this appliance will require approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7L) to 2 gallons
(7.6L) of oil. The fill line marks the maximum amount of liquid that the appliance
can safely contain. The max fill line provides for ample liquid to cook any meal in
this appliance.
What type of oil should I use?
Cottonseed oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point,
but any common cooking oil may be used.
How hot will the oil become?
After about 55 minutes, oil will typically reach 400˚F (204˚C). This time is
dependent on starting temperature of the oil and ambient conditions. When
turkey is placed in fryer, oil temperature will drop to around 275˚F (135˚C); this is a
suitable temperature for frying a turkey. As turkey is cooking, temperature will
slowly recover but may not reach original setpoint before cooking time is reached.
This is normal.
Should the lid stay on during use?
Yes, the lid helps to retain heat and keeps splashes inside the unit.
What size turkey can I deep fry in this appliance?
Any turkey up to 16lbs. (7.26kgs) can be fried in this unit.
Can I use an extension cord with this appliance?
No, an extension cord will weaken electrical current which will increase cooking
time and lessen performance. The risk of tripping or knocking over this unit is
increased with the use of extension cords.
Which way should the turkey face when frying?
Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed as close to horizontal in the basket
with the breast side facing up as possible.
I followed the instructions and the turkey wasn’t fully cooked. What
went wrong?
Cooking conditions may vary; the turkey may have been excessively cold.
Always bring the turkey to room temperature before frying and make sure it is
completely thawed out. Occasionally, a cold spot in a joint or deep in the turkey
breast does not allow that section to cook properly.
Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?
Yes but if you do not want to use this appliance in your house, use in a garage or
covered patio to prevent the Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed to precipita-
tion.
