Presto ProFry Instructions Manual page 15

Step 7 Lift the skewered turkey using the pivot and lifting handles.
Position the rotisserie over the preheated fryer. Lower the pivot
handle, the one with the ProFry
control panel (Fig. 28, page 13). Once the pivot handle is securely
resting in the recessed area, carefully lower the lifting handle and
rest the draining hooks on the drain brace (Fig. 33).
If desired, the cover may be placed over the turkey before lowering
it into the oil to reduce initial spattering. With the cover vents
towards the ON/OFF switch, place the cover so it rests on both
handles (Fig. 34).
Step 8 When ready to lower the turkey, raise the lifting handle slightly
and push the drain brace away so that it drops back to its original
position. Then, very slowly lower the turkey into the fryer until the
frying hooks on the lifting handle rest on the fryer rim (Fig. 29,
page 13). It is important that the frying hooks are placed over the
rim. Otherwise, the rotisserie will not fully rotate.
Step 9 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).
Warning! To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or
property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
Step 10 If the cover was used when lowering the turkey into the oil, remove
after 1 to 2 minutes. Do not cook the turkey with the cover on.
Step 11 Begin timing. Allow approximately 4 minutes cooking time per pound of turkey (based on tag weight). For example,
if the frozen turkey, as purchased, is 14 pounds, the frying time is roughly 56 minutes.
Periodically check the turkey during the cooking period to make sure it is rotating properly. Occasionally, the
rotisserie may reverse directions. This is normal.
Step 12 When frying time has elapsed, allow rotisserie to rotate until the turkey is breast side up and turn the motor button to
the OFF position. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast, without contacting the bone. The turkey
is safely cooked if the internal temperature is 165°F. However, you may prefer to cook it to a higher temperature.
Removing Rotisserie from Fryer
Step 1 Once the turkey's internal temperature has reached 165°F or higher, turn the motor button OFF.
Step 2 Turn the temperature control knob to OFF and remove plug from wall outlet and then from turkey fryer.
Step 3 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 4 Raise the lifting handle with one hand and use your other hand to lift the drain brace so it is resting against the fryer
rim. Carefully lower the lifting handle draining hooks onto the drain brace (Fig. 33). This is the drain position.
Keep the turkey in this position for approximately 1 to 2 minutes to allow hot oil to drain from the turkey cavity.
Meanwhile, line a large clean tray or cookie sheet with paper towels.
