Unpacking Your Funnel Cake Fryer

Carefully remove the fryer from the packaging. Unpack the tank and head of the fryer. Unpack the product trays and wire mesh guard. Inspect the power cord and plug. Inspect the element and the rest of the unit for any damage.
If there is any damage do not use the fryer and contact the seller immediately. Wash the trays and guard prior to using. The trays and guard are dishwasher safe.
Use a towel and sanitizing solution, such as Noble Chemical’s QuikSan Ready to Use Sanitizer and Disinfectant (#147QUIKSAN) to clean the tank and element.
Be sure the tank is completely dry before adding any oil.

Funnel Cake Fryer Operation

• Place the fryer on a dry, level surface near a power outlet. Ensure the outlet is the correct voltage for the unit. If unsure of your power supply, consult an electrician before using this fryer.
• Ensure the drain valve is closed. After the tank has been cleaned and is completely dry, add your desired cooking oil to the tank. Fill to the line marked inside the tank.
• It is important to maintain the oil level to this line. Not doing so will result in high fryer oil temps and burnt product ”
• Plug the fryer into the outlet and press the ON button
• Select the desired temperature on the dial. The orange heating light should now be on. When the unit has reached the selected temperature, this light will cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains the desired set point. Once the fryer is up to temperature, you’re ready to fry!
• A micro switch ensures that all power to the heating elements is disconnected when the element box is removed from the oil tank.

NOTE!
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE FRYER HEATING UNIT IS PROPERLY LOCATED ON THE TANK BODY. THE UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE MICRO SWITCH IS NOT IN THE “ON ” POSITION.
The unit is fitted with a preset manual reset safety thermostat. This will disengage the heating element should the oil reach a temperature over 430F°. Do not reset this safety until the oil temperature is below 300F°. If the situation persists the unit should be sent to an authorized service agent.

Daily Check

Before Using

Check to see if the power cord is frayed or damaged.

During Use
