Check that the power cord is securely plugged in and the unit is switched on at the wall. Ensure the heating element is properly seated in the tank, as many models have a safety cutout if not installed correctly.
The temperature setting is likely too high for the type of oil being used, or there is food residue burning on the element. Clean the tank and remove any loose food particles using the batter plate.
The oil temperature may have dropped too low during cooking. Wait for the indicator light to show that the target temperature has been reached before adding your food in smaller batches.
To set up your unit, place the fryer on a level, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Before first use, ensure the tank is clean and the heating element is correctly seated. Always fill the tank with high-quality frying oil before turning the unit on, as running the element while dry can cause damage. After every use, turn the temperature dial to the 'off' position and unplug the device. Once the oil has cooled completely, use the hinged element feature to lift the heating coil and remove the oil tank for washing. Regularly check that the stainless steel housing is wiped down to prevent grease buildup, and ensure the batter plate is removed and cleaned after every service session to maintain food quality.
