Frying The Turkey - Presto ProFry Instructions Manual

Step 5 Turn the motor button to the ON position and slide the
rotisserie engagement switch to the ON position. The
rotisserie will engage the motor and the turkey will begin
to rotate (Fig. 30). Allow the turkey to rotate for 1 to 2
complete revolutions, making sure it rotates fully and does
not come in contact with the inside of the fryer.
Step 6 If the turkey fully rotates, the skewer is properly centered
and the turkey is ready for frying. If it does not fully rotate, it
is not centered properly or the turkey was not tied properly.
In either case, turn the motor button to the OFF position
and push the rotisserie engagement switch forward to
the OFF position. Sometimes, due to the tension of the
rotisserie's chain, the switch may be difficult to push. Any movement of the lifting handle (the handle opposite the
switch) relieves the tension. Either slide the lifting handle from side to side on the rim of the fryer twice, or lift the
handle up slightly from the rim and then lower it back down. IMPORTANT: If you do not disengage the rotisserie's
engagement switch, you will be unable to lift the turkey out of the fryer and could damage the unit.
Step 7 Grasping both the pivot handle and the lifting handle, remove the turkey and rotisserie from the fryer and place on a
paper towel-lined cookie sheet or baking pan.
Step 8 If the turkey did not rotate properly, check to see if the twine is pulled tight and retie if necessary. Then move the
locking tabs on the lifting handle to the unlocked position and detach the handle from the skewer by pulling on the
handle. Pull the skewer out of the turkey and reinsert it. This time when reinserting, pay special attention to properly
centering the skewer. Reattach the lifting handle, return the assembly to the fryer, and try another "dry run." Repeat
until the turkey fully rotates.
If the turkey rotated fully, you are ready to begin frying the turkey.

Step 1 Before pouring oil into the removable pot, be sure the pot and all parts are
completely dry.
Step 2 Fill the removable pot with vegetable oil up to the TURKEy line (Fig. 31).
This will require 1 gallon (4 quarts) of oil. (See page 7 for recommended types
of oil.) Although only 1 gallon of oil is needed to fry a turkey, if desired, the
removable pot can be filled to the MAX line.
Step 3 Place the cover on the fryer with the cover vents towards the control panel. See
important cord information in step 4 on page 13.
Step 4 Turn the temperature control knob to 375°. While oil is heating, the ready light
will be on. If the light does not turn on, you may have inadvertently heated the
unit during the dry run. you will need to press the reset button. See page 5 for
instructions. Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
Step 5 When the selected temperature is reached, the ready light will go out. (Preheat
time is approximately 20 minutes.)
Step 6 After preheating fryer, remove cover. Then lift the drain brace so it is resting
against the fryer rim (Fig. 32). Before attaching the rotisserie to the fryer, make
sure the motor button on the control panel is in the OFF position.
