Pre-heating oil or water may take thirty minutes or more depending on initial oil
temperature and ambient conditions. Take advantage of this time to prepare
foods for cooking. For best results, completely pre-heat unit to cooking
temperature before frying or boiling foods.
Reduce heating time and keep temperature more consistent by keeping the lid
on the pot during the pre-heating and cooking processes.
For cooking a turkey, when the desired temperature is attained and the turkey
is placed in the oil, the temperature of the oil will naturally be reduced because
of the lower temperature of the turkey. The LCD readout will display the
temperature throughout this process. Temperature is displayed when the turkey
is placed in oil and while the oil returns to desired cooking temperature.
“Recovery time” is the amount of time required to bring the oil back to frying
temperature once the items being boiled or fried are immersed in the liquid
medium. This time can be best controlled by bringing foods to ambient
temperature and limiting the amount of foods placed in the fryer basket for
immersion at any one time. With larger pieces such as a 14-pound turkey, we
recommend allowing oil to reach 375˚F to 400˚F prior to immersing the bird.
When the desired heating temperature for cooking is attained, the heating
element will automatically turn off. When the temperature drops 5˚F below the
setpoint, the heating element will automatically turn on again until the desired
cooking temperature is reached. This automatic process will repeat and display
on the LCD, as “Heating” or “Ready”.
To illuminate the Backlighting of the LCD display, press the “UP” arrow or the
“DOWN” arrow.
The red power light illuminates only to indicate that the power cord is plugged
into an electrical outlet. This product will not start heating until the “START”
button is pushed.
The timer on this product is completely separate from and does not control the
heating element. The Heating Element will not turn off automatically when the
timer beeps. The temperature controller must be manually turned off.
If the LCD readout reads “ERR,” no buttons will function except On/Off. Turn
the unit off immediately, wait 15 minutes and then turn fryer back on.
