ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why won’t my turkey fryer turn on?
The Control Panel features a “Safety Switch” that must be aligned properly for unit to
power on. Green light will illuminate when control panel is mounted correctly.
4
Step 1
Align notch of inner pot (2) with notch on
outer shell (1). Insert inner pot into outer
shell.
How much oil do I need to use?
Fryer will require approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7L) of oil. The fill line is the maximum
amount of liquid that can safely be used in this unit. Filling to the line provides more
than enough water or oil to prepare any dish in this unit.
3
Step 2
Attach control panel and element (6) to
outer shell mounting bracket as shown
(fig. a).
What type of oil should I use?
Peanut oil is recommended because of the great taste and higher smoke point but any
common cooking oil may be used.
6
Control must be correctly attached for
appliance to operate. A built in safety
switch on control panel will prevent unit
from heating if not mounted properly.
How hot will the oil become?
Oil will reach 400°F (204°C) in approximately 55 minutes. Oil temperature will
decrease to 275°- 280°F (135-138°C) when turkey is placed in fryer, which is an
appropriate turkey frying temperature.
fig. a
Step 3
Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit
Place basket (3) inside inner pot.
Step 4
What size turkey can I deep fry in this unit?
Insert breakaway cord (7) into magnetic
connection attached to control panel as
shown (fig. b). Make sure “This Side Up”
is on top for proper connection.
2
You can deep fry up to a 14 lb (6.35kgs) turkey in this unit.
Can an extension cord be used with this unit?
No, extension cords will lose electric current resulting in increased cooking time and
decreased performance. Extension cords can also pose a trip hazard.
Step 5
Place glass lid (4) on last.
Does the turkey go in the basket breast side up or down?
Turkey and turkey breasts should be placed horizontal in basket, breast side up.
1
I followed the formula and the turkey did not fully cook. What went wrong?
Cooking conditions may vary. Turkey could have been cold. Bring turkey to room
temperature before frying. Sometimes a cold or frozen spot in a joint or deep in the
turkey breast does not allow that section to cook properly.
fig. b
REMINDER:
Do NOT operate appliance with a
damaged cord, plug, or after
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner.
Can the Electric Turkey Fryer be used outdoors?
Outdoor use is not recommended for Masterbuilt’s Electric Turkey Fryer.
If you do not want to use the unit in your house please use in a garage or covered
patio to prevent Electric Turkey Fryer from being exposed to rain showers.
