Cover Handle Assembly; Reset Button - Presto ProFry Instructions Manual

• Attach the cover handle as instructed below and shown in Fig. 3.
• Become familiar with the rotisserie assembly instructions (pages 10 through 13) and basket handle assembly instructions
(page 16). It is recommended you practice assembling these parts prior to using them.
• Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Carefully clean the heating element with hot, soapy water, taking care not to
immerse the control panel in water. Caution! To avoid electrical shock, never immerse the control panel, cord, or plug
in water or wash in a dishwasher. Lift the removable pot out of the base and wash the pot, rotisserie assembly, cover, and
fry/steam basket according to the cleaning instructions found on page 23, steps 3 through 5.

Cover Handle Assembly

The cover handle consists of the handle, base plate, and two screws that are partially
threaded into the handle (Fig. 2). Attach the handle to the cover as follows:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, separate the base plate from the cover handle by
removing the two screws from the bottom of the handle. Set the screws aside.
2. Position the base plate on top of the cover so the slot on the base plate aligns with
the pocket on the cover (Fig. 3).
3. Fit the tab on the handle into the slot on the base plate and then into the cover
pocket.
4. While holding the handle in place, turn the cover over and secure the handle using
the two screws provided. Notice: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in
stripping of screws or cracking of handle or cover.

Reset Button

The fryer is equipped with a sensor which will automatically shut the unit off
if it is overheated. Overheating can occur if the unit is heated without or with
an insufficient amount of oil or water. It can also occur when using solid fat or
older oil that has become thick. Should the unit shut off, unplug and allow the
unit to cool. Determine what caused the overheating and correct it, e.g., if you
planned to deep fry and there is no oil in the fryer, add oil. Then, with the tip of
a Phillips screwdriver, press the red RESET button on the back of the control
panel (Fig. 4). The unit will not operate until it is reset.
Before frying a turkey, it is recommended that you do a "dry run" to make
sure the turkey is centered on the rotisserie and will fully rotate (see page 13).
When doing the dry run, the temperature control knob should be off to prevent
overheating. If you accidentally heat the unit during the dry run, it will overheat
and it will be necessary to reset the unit as described above.
