10 • PARA MEJORES RESULTADOS, lea los siguientes consejos iniciales antes de usar este artefacto. Recuerde
que se trata de una artefacto ELÉCTRICO y que tiene características distintas de un artefacto a gas.
• POR SEGURIDAD, el elemento calefactor sólo se calienta cuando está correctamente fijado a la abrazadera
de montaje. Este es un elemento calefactor potente y puede causar una falla en el interruptor. Esto se puede minimizar operando los artefactos adicionales en un circuito aparte. Una falla en el interruptor NO dañará el artefacto o su sistema eléctrico.
• El PRECALENTAMIENTO del aceite o agua puede tomar hasta 25-35 minutos. Aproveche este momento
para preparar los alimentos que va a cocinar. Para un rendimiento óptimo, precaliente completamente el artefacto a una temperatura de cocción antes de freír o hervir los alimentos. Mantenga la tapa CERRADA durante el precalentamiento y la cocción. Esto reducirá el tiempo de calentamiento y mantendrá la temperatura más consistente.
• La LUZ DE ENCENDIDO (rojo) se encenderá indicando que el cable de alimentación de retención está
enchufado a un tomacorrientes.
• La LUZ INDICADORA DE LISTO (verde) se encenderá cuando se alcance la temperatura configurada. La
luz indicadora se apagará si la temperatura del aceite o del agua caen por debajo de la temperatura configurada y se volverá a encender si el aceite o el agua regresan a la temperatura configurada.

An 8-10 lb. (3.63-4.54 kgs.) turkey is recommended. However, you can deep fry up to a 12 lb. (5.44 kgs.) turkey. DO NOT EXCEED 12 lbs. (5.44 kgs.). Frozen turkeys should be thoroughly defrosted to 35°- 40°F (1.6°- 4.4°C). The turkey must be rinsed thoroughly or soaked in a warm water bath for no more than 30 minutes to remove any possibility of remaining ice crystals and then dried thoroughly with paper towels before immersing in hot oil. This will reduce splatter. THAWING THE TURKEY Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4 lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of turkey thawed in the refrigerator. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Ensure that the turkey is completely thawed and free of ice and water. Remove neck and giblet bag. Pay special attention to inner cavities when checking for ice or water. 2. Fill pot with oil to the MAX fi ll line. 3. Set control dial to 375°F (191°C). Preheating time may take 25-35 minutes. Close the fryer lid while preheating. 4. While oil is preheating, prepare the turkey (see page 21). 5. CALCULATE COOKING TIME The formula for calculating cooking time is to fry turkey 3.5-4 minutes per pound (0.45 kg.). Using a meat thermometer, check turkey breast to ensure it has reached the
appropriate temperature of 165°-170°F (74°-77°C). If you do not have a meat
thermometer then fry turkey 4 minutes per pound (0.45 kg.). 6. The ready indicator light (green) will illuminate when temperature is reached. 7. Place turkey in the basket, breast side down (Figure A). 8. Wearing protective gloves or mitts, grasp the retractable basket handles
(Figure B) and VERY SLOWLY lower the basket into the hot oil. Once the basket is
in place, close the lid. 9. Turn dial to the desired cooking temperature. See Operating Instructions on page 11. Always cook for the complete calculated time. 10. When time is up, turn the fryer to OFF and unplug from outlet. Lift the basket from the hot oil slowly, hooking the drain clip on the basket into the drain clip mounting hole (Figure C). 11. Allow turkey to rest in the basket for 10 minutes before removing it for carving and serving. The turkey can remain in the basket to cool until ready to serve. NOTE: • Cooking conditions vary. Insert a food thermometer 2 inches (5.08 cm) into the deepest part of the turkey breast and make sure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. • The appliance uses slightly less than 1.5 gallons (6 qts.) of oil, but make sure you have at least 1.5 gallons (6 qts.) of oil on hand. • Butterball® turkey is recommended. However, if you have another brand please remove the pop-up cooking indicator and leg ties.
