Pre-heating oil/grease will reach optimum frying temperature in 3 to 5 minutes. (325˚F - 350˚F)
Never allow oil to reach FIRE HAZARD zone on the thermometer.
Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite and cause a fire.
Cooking oil/grease ignites at varying temperatures, so check thermometer every 3 minutes during
oil heat-up and frying. Never allow the oil to exceed 400˚F and NEVER LEAVE HEATING OIL

There is a simple way to test the thermometer.
1. Inser
t thermometer stem into boiling water.
2. While wearing protective gloves, hold the thermometer by the dial and insert stem into boiling water.
The needle should quickly move around the dial and register approximately 212˚F (100˚C).
This indicates the thermometer is working. NOTE: Due to water evaporation, the maximum reading
on a thermometer in hot water test is 212˚F (100˚C). Hot cooking oil will send the temperature reading
above 212˚F (100˚C).
3. If the needle stops at a low temperature i.e. 180˚F; this indicates the thermometer is not working
properly. If so, discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 M-F 8am - 5pm CST for assistance.
Replacement thermometer Model #5020.
DO NOT attempt frying if the thermometer is not working!
WARNING
Always use a thermometer when frying any food products. A thermometer is a sensitive measuring
device which may not work properly if dropped, bent, or twisted. Always check to be sure the
ther
mometer provided with this cooker is working properly before cooking.
