COVER CHECK
To OPEN cover, push down on cover handle
then rotate handle clockwise. Slide assem-
bly to the rear of the unit. To CLOSE, pull
assembly toward the front and rotate handle
counterclockwise.
• Always fully rotate handle OPEN or

• Never use force to OPEN cover. OPEN
only when no pressure is present in the
cooking well.
• If cover will not OPEN easily, be sure
pressure regulating valve is OPEN. If
cover will still not OPEN, turn cook/filter
switch OFF. DO NOT operate unit until it
has been serviced by an authorized
Broaster Company representative.
COOKING OIL
The words “oil” and “shortening” are used to
describe a high quality cooking medium
manufactured for deep frying.
CAUTION: Check oil level before
turning cook/filter switch to COOK.
WARNING: Use care when handling
hot oil. Oil could splash causing seri-
ous burns.
Fill cooking well using one of the following
methods:
Liquid Oil:
Use Broaster
®
Bro-Oil
®
liquid oils or a high
quality liquid oil manufactured for deep fry-
ing.
Solid Shortening:
WARNING: DO NOT heat solid short-
ening on a stove or other appliance
prior to placing in cooking well. Hot shorten-
ing could splash causing serious burns.
DO NOT leave unit unattended when melt-
ing solid shortening. HOT OIL LEVEL must
be maintained. Solid shortening must be
soft enough to be packed around and com-
pletely cover heating elements on the 1600/
1800E and sides and bottom of cooking well
on the 1800GH. If not, there will be places
on heating elements and cooking well not
covered with shortening. During the heating
period, these bare spots will be hot spots.
They could discolor the cooking well, dam-
age a heating element or start to scorch or
burn shortening thereby reducing its useful
life.
