The "Cuisinairre" Deep Fat Fryer features commercial restaurant grade Brushed Stainless Steel construction with a 1750 Watt immersion heating element, heavy duty stainless steel fryer basket, polished stainless steel lid cover and 6-Liter stainless steel cooking oil tank. 6-Liters total oil capacity. Thermostat automatically maintains temperature from 140F to 392F (60C to 200C). Dial reads in Centigrade (60C to 200C). Conversion chart from Centigrade to Fahrenheit is included with directions. Electrical cord plugs into common 2 prong plug with ground. IMPORTANT: At highest temperature setting on a 110/115 Volt circuit, the commercial rated heating element pulls just less than 22 amps. To keep from tripping the breaker, you must plug this fryer into an outlet connected to a 20 Amp dedicated circuit or higher. If you are planning on using a 20 Amp circuit, no other items can be plugged into the same outlet or be on the same circuit. If you will be using a 25 Amp or 30 Amp Circuit, certain other electrical items can be on the same circuit, depending on their current draw. Check the amperage rating of each outlet you intend to plug this unit into and please do not purchase if you do not have the correct amperage available. Note: To insure correct operation after placing temperature controller/heating element into frame, small white safety switch on bottom of temperature control unit must be fully depressed. If small white safety switch is not completely depressed, heating unit will not come on and may appear to be defective.
