- Do NOT use solid oil under any circumstances
- Never use copper, brass or plastic utensils in oil
- Keep unit covered when not in use
- Check oil daily and change if necessary when cooled down, some foods that are fried degrade oil quicker than others
- A fire danger exists if the oil level is below the minimum marked level
- The use of old cooking oil can reduce the flash point of the oil and make it more prone to surge boiling
- Surge boiling can also be caused by over wet food or too large a charge of food

Thermostat settings for most foods is between 170°C and 180 °C. For foods direct from the freezer, allow 5’C higher temperature or slightly longer cooking time. Always shake cold water and ice from food before frying. As a general rule, for larger portions cook at a lower temperature a longer time. For smaller portions cook at a lower temperature for a shorter time. When the unit reaches the selected temperature, the thermostat pilot light will turn off, indicating that the power is no longer being drawn. As the temperature drops, the thermostat turns on and power is returned to the element.4.1.2 Autolift Fryer Operation

Set desired cooking time on timer, basket will lower into oil and lift out when the timer returns to zero
