FEATURES

1. These fryers are available in 2 different models. One is a 1-tank fryer (DF-12L); another is a 2-tank fryer (DF-12L/2). The 2-tank fryer is able fry two different kinds of foods at the same time.
2. The oil temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator and includes a yellow (hot light) which cycles on and off to indicate when the desired temperature has been reached.
3. The automatic shut-off feature cuts power to the unit when the oil has reached 446°F (the maximum allowable temperature).
4. There is an automatic micro-switch on the bottom of the unit head. This will cut power to the unit if the head has been separated from the base of the unit without the power switch turned off or the power cord unplugged.
5. The stainless steel tank has a convenient spot for draining oil easily.
   The heating coils are protected by a stainless steel panel base at the bottom of the unit.

TO USE

1. Make sure the power supply you are using is adequate for continual fryer use, and voltage is adequate. The use of a surge protector or circuit breaker is advisable.
2. Make sure that the temperature regulator knob is set to the off position
3. Remove the basket from the machine.
4. Make sure the oil valve is closed
5. Fill oil receptacle with vegetable oil somewhere between the minimum and maximum levels, allowing room for food volume.
6. Plug the machine in.
7. A green “Power Light” will come on. Rotate the temperature regulator knob clockwise to the desired temperature. When the desired temperature has been reached, the yellow “Hot Light” will turn off and cycle, and the temperature controller will maintain the temperature automatically.
8. Load food into the basket, and carefully place the loaded basket into the machine to avoid a splash.
9. Gently shake off excess oil from food when removing from the tank after frying.
10. The enclosed frying basket is intended to hold small foods such as French fries and onion rings.
11. Large food can be placed directly into the basket or oil tank.

CLEANING

After fryer usage, turn the power controller counterclockwise to the “OFF” position and remove plug from the power supply. The procedure is as follows:

1. Carefully remove the unit head from the box and place it in a safe, dry place.
2. Put an oil container under the oil drain and open the drain valve to empty oil into the oil container
3. Gently wipe the oil tank, removing any excess oil or sludge. Dry completely and place back in the machine

For best results, cover the fryer when oil is cool and not in use. This will keep unwanted debris from falling into the oil. For best results, always use fresh vegetable oil with each use. It is recommended that you inspect the unit before each use to check that the power cord is not frayed or damaged in any way.
