STARTER TIPS

FOR BEST RESULTS READ The following start up tips before using your electric turkey fryer, seafood kettle and boiler. Please remember this is an ELECTRIC turkey fryer, and has different characteristics than a gas fryer

PRE-HEATING oil or water my take up to 55 minutes. Take advantage of this time to prepare your turkey or other foods for cooking. For optimum performance, completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods. Keeping THE LID ON during pre-heating and cooking cycles will reduce pre-heating time, and keep temperature more consistent.

INDICATOR LIGHT (See Page 4) will turn OFF once the designated temperature has been reached. The indicator light will turn ON when the food is placed into the hot liquid, indicating the element is heating and may not turn OFF during the cooking process, especially when frying a turkey.

14 POUNDS is the LARGEST recommended turkey to cook. Any turkey over 14 pounds may not cook completely, especially in center of breast and drumsticks. When cooking more than one turkey, or more than one basket of food, allow enough time for the oil or water to re-heat to designated temperature before adding additional food.

FOR SAFETY , the heating element will only heat up when properly mounted to the mounting bracket (See Page 3). This is a powerful heating element and may cause occasional circuit breaker tripping. Try to minimize occurances by operating any additional appl-iances on a separate circuit. This may take a little trial and error, but WILL NOT DAMAGE your fryer or your homes electrical system.
