of 350°F (177°C) or the temperature set by the

NOTE: FOR YOUR PROTECTION the fryer is
furnished with a hi-limit safety shutoff that
will disengage the control if the oil
temperature in the frypot would ever exceed
432°F (222°C). In this event, the oil
temperature must be allowed to decrease to
375°F (191°C) before restarting the appliance.
After allowing the oil temperature to
decrease, open the front access door and
press the RESET BUTTON for a period of 3-
seconds to restart the control.
