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.

STARTER TIPS  
HOW TO STEAM USING APPLIANCE  
Add water until it reaches bottom of the basket.  
FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to the mounting  
bracket (see assembly instructions). This is a powerful heating element and may  
cause circuit breaker to trip. Minimize occurrences by operating any additional  
appliances on a separate circuit. Tripping the circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or  
household electrical system.  
BASKET  
Do not allow water to evaporate so that element  
is exposed. This will cause the element to  
overheat and may damage the unit.  
WATER  
ELEMENT  
PRE-HEATING oil or water may take up to 55 minutes to reach cooking temperature.  
Take advantage of this time to prepare foods for cooking. For optimum performance,  
completely pre-heat unit to cooking temperature before frying or boiling foods.  
Keeping lid ON during pre-heating and cooking cycles will reduce heating time and  
keep temperature more consistent.  
RESET FUNCTION  
• This appliance is equipped with an overheat  
safety feature.  
• If appliance overheats it will shut off  
automatically.  
INDICATOR LIGHT (green) will turn OFF when heating liquid in unit. It will turn ON  
when liquid has been heated to designated temperature. Indicator light may turn on  
and off during cooking as heating element works to maintain a constant temperature.  
To reset appliance, unplug from outlet, then  
insert a tooth pick into small hole found on  
control panel as shown.  
WARNING: Do not use appliance without water or oil in pot. It can be severely  
damaged if heated while empty.
