Do not allow oil to get hotter than 400°F (200°C). One gallon of oil can reach 350°F (175°C) in 7 to
10 minutes. Use thermometer to check temperature, or if oil begins to smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn
burner OFF.
When in use, do not leave fryer unattended. Oil will heat up quickly and ignite at 550°F (287°C) to
700°F (371°C).
Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow. When frying with
oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove excess
water. If ice is present on food, this means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a
boil over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire.
Do not leave oil/grease unattended while in use.
