Electric Pressure Fryer
Operation
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
3. Once the fryer is filled with shortening, place the
FILTER/OFF/FRY
switch in the
FRY
position.
Unless the STIR OIL function is operating in the –OFF mode, the digital timer activates a STIR
OIL function and begins an internal six minute countdown (not displayed). At the end of the
internal countdown, the display shows the words “STIR” then “OIL” in .5 second intervals and the
alarm sounds. Depress the ALARM button and stir the shortening freely while it is heating.
IMPORTANT
!
Before the first cooking operation each day, stir the shortening freely while it is
heating to provide a balanced shortening temperature for excellent results with the first cooking.
Failure to do this can result in a crusty skin on the product surface with an undercooked product
internally. In addition, in some cases, failure to stir the shortening while it is initially heating may
cause the HI-LIMIT safety device to disable the power due to a false overtemperature condition.
4. Set the thermostat to the desired cook temperature. The temperature light will go on. When the
temperature is reached, the light will go off. The light will continue to cycle on and off as the fryer
maintains the set temperature.
5. Press and hold the
TIME SELECT
arrow buttons on the digital timer until the desired cook time is
displayed or recall a preset time by quickly pressing the appropriate preset button.
6. The shortening will heat and begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as
required to reach the fill mark.
Cooking (LPF and LPF-F)
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
1. Ensure that the Start-Up procedures have been performed.
2. When frying chicken, lower the basket into the shortening in the fryer pot.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when dropping
chicken into pot. Carefully drop pieces of chicken into pot to prevent shortening
splashes.
3. Carefully drop the chicken in the shortening one piece at a time starting with thighs and
drumsticks. The fryer is designed to accommodate 32 pieces of chicken.
Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in severe injury. Always use the
insulated mitts when handling the hot fry basket.
4. Lift the basket and shake it. This keeps the food from sticking together and causing white spots
on the cooked food.
Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when lowering
basket into pot. Carefully lower basket into pot to prevent shortening splashes.
5. Slowly lower the fryer basket into fryer pot.
6. Close the lid. Make sure the lid snaps shut. Make sure the lid hook latches securely under the
catch.
