If you experience a grease fire or excessive flame with your Masterbuilt Fryer, immediately turn off both the control knob and the gas cylinder valve. Allow the flames to extinguish completely and give the unit enough time to cool down. Then, thoroughly clean any grease or food particles from around the burner and surrounding surfaces.
Why doesn't my Masterbuilt MB20020120 burner light after pressing the ignitor button?
If your Masterbuilt Fryer burner doesn’t light, it could be due to low or no gas flow. Here’s what to do: 1. Turn the control knob to the “Off” position. 2. Turn the gas cylinder valve knob to OFF. 3. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder to relieve any vapor lock. 4. Reconnect the regulator to the cylinder, hand-tightening it until secure. 5. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve slightly, then open it fully by turning it one full turn. 6. Now, you’re ready to light the fryer. 7. Turn the control knob to high and light with the ignitor.
What should I do if there's a fire under the control panel of my Masterbuilt Fryer?
If there is a fire under the control panel of your Masterbuilt Fryer, it may be due to a blockage in the burner tube. Immediately turn off both the control knob and the gas cylinder valve. Allow the fire to go out and the burner to cool completely. Once cooled, remove the burner and inspect it for any obstructions such as spiders, nests, rust, or other debris.
