TO USE
For model DF12L2S, individual branch circuits are to be employed to supply the product.
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 basket from the machine.
4. Fill oil receptacle with vegetable oil somewhere between the minimum and maximum levels,
allowing room for food volume.
5. Plug the machine in.
Note: DF12LS model supplied with one power supply cord, DF12L2S model supplier with two
separate power supply cords, please plug in two power supply cords for model DF12L2S
when operating.
