STARTER TIPS

FOR BEST RESULTS, READ following start up tips before using this product. Remember this is an ELECTRIC unit and has different characteristics than a gas unit.

FOR SAFETY, heating element only heats up when properly attached to 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 separate circuit. Tripping circuit breaker will NOT damage unit or household electrical system.

PRE-HEATING oil or water may take up to 55 minutes. 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.

INDICATOR LIGHT will turn ON when heating liquid in unit. It will turn OFF 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.

POWER LIGHT will illuminate indicating power cord is plugged into outlet. Unit will not start heating until START button is pushed.

TIMER is NOT connected to heating element. Element WILL NOT TURN OFF when timer beeps.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

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.

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.

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.

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.

Should I keep the lid on during use?
Yes, the lid helps retain heat, and keeps splatter inside unit

What size turkey can I deep fry in this unit?
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.

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.

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.

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.

RECIPES

DEEP FRIED WHOLE TURKEY
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
TURKEY SIZE IS 14 POUNDS (6.35kgs)!
Allow turkey to reach room temperature or set out 1 hour before frying.

THAWING TURKEY
The National Wild Turkey Federation recommends refrigerator thawing and to allow approximately 24 hours for every five pounds (2.3kgs) of bird thawed in the refrigerator.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Insure turkey is completely thawed, free of ice and water. Remove neck, giblet bag, plastic pop-up cooking indicator and leg ties. Pay special attention to inner cavity area when checking for ice or water.
  2. Fill pot with oil to the fill line.
  3.  Set control dial to 400°F (204°C) (pre-heating time may take up to 55 minutes), and place lid on unit.
  4.  While oil is pre-heating, prepare turkey. Inject with marinade of your choice and season outside of turkey with a Cajun rub.
  5. CALCULATE COOKING TIME
    The formula for calculating turkey cooking time is 3 minutes per pound (0.45kg), then add 5 minutes to total cooking time, rounding to nearest minute:

13.86 lbs X 3 mins        41.58 mins
Plus 5 minutes            + 5.00 mins
                             __________________
                                   = 46.58 mins

Total Cooking Time             47.00 mins

NOTE: Cooking conditions vary. Insert a food thermometer 2 inches (5.08cm) into the deepest part of turkey and make sure an internal temperature of 180°F (82°C) is reached.

6. Heating indicator light will go OFF when temperature is reached.

7. Place turkey horizontally in basket, breast side up.

8. Wearing protective gloves or mitts, hook basket handle with lifting hook and very slowly lower basket into hot oil.

9. With basket in place, cover with lid. Set timer or mark time.

10. Heating light will come on, indicating the element is heating. Be certain to cook for complete calculated time .

11. When cooking time is complete, turn turkey fryer OFF and lift basket from hot oil slowly. Hook basket to side of pot with drain clip to drain excess oil.

12. Carefully tilt the turkey up on one end to allow oil to drain out of the center cavity.
The turkey can remain in the basket to cool until ready to serve.

DEEP FRIED TURKEY BREAST
Follow the above directions and safety precautions and adjust formula to 7 minutes per pound (0.45kg), then add 5 minutes to total cooking time.

LOW COUNTRY BOIL (BOILING)

  • 1 lb (0.45kg) shrimp
  • 1 lb (0.45kg) crawfish
  • 1 lb (0.45kg) smoked sausage
  • 8 pieces of short ear corn
  • 2 bags of crab boil mix
  • 2 lbs (0.91kg) of whole new potatoes

Fill inner pot with water to fill line, add 2 bags of crab boil mix and bring water to a boil. Allow water to boil for 15 minutes then add sausage (cut sausage in 1/4 inch (0.64cm) thick slices). Three minutes later, add potatoes; 3 minutes later, add corn; 3 minutes later, add shrimp and crawfish together; 3 minutes later, remove and serve.

COOKING CHART

WARNING: NEVER place frozen poultry in oil. Use extreme caution when cooking frozen foods. Never fill oil past fill line or exceed maximum amount of food in basket. Spill over can cause serious injury. Slowly lower basket into hot oil and cover with lid. Always wear protective gloves or mitts.

CAUTION: When using drain hook on basket, make sure that basket is firmly in place on rim of pot before releasing handle so basket will not fall back into hot oil or water causing personal injury.

HOW TO STEAM USING APPLIANCE

Add water until it reaches bottom of the basket. Do not allow water to evaporate. This will cause the element to overheat and can damage the unit.

    For more information go to masterbuilt.com/support/app-requirements.
  2. Once the download is complete, open the Masterbuilt app and follow the instructions for pairing your Bluetooth smoker and smart device(s).

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Warning
Warning: Changes or modifications to this smoker that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance and could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more  of the following measures:

  1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

PRE-SEASONING
PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE. Some smoke may appear during this time, this is normal.

  1. Make sure the water pan is in place WITHOUT WATER.
  2.  Set temperature to 275°F (135°C) and run smoker for 3 hours.
  3. During the last 45 minutes, add ½ cup of wood chips in the wood chip loader and unload wood chips into the wood chip tray to complete pre-seasoning. This amount is equal to the contents of a filled wood chip loader.
  4. Shut down and allow it to cool.

LOADING FOOD INTO SMOKER

  • Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at desired cooking temperature before loading food.
  • DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
  • Do not overload smokers with food. Extra-large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on the center of the rack to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not open the smoker door unless necessary. Opening the smoker door causes heat to escape, may extend cooking time, and may cause wood chips to flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare-ups.
  • There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal.  To minimize smoke loss around the door, the door latch can be adjusted to further tighten the door seal against the body.
  • To adjust the door latch, loosen the hex nut on the door latch. Turn hook clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut firmly against the door latch (see diagram).
  • Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty the grease tray before it gets full. The grease tray may need to be emptied periodically during cooking.

WOOD CHIP LOADER

  • Wood chip loader and wood chip tray MUST be in place when using a smoker. This minimizes the chance of wood flare-ups.
  • Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.
  • Before starting the smoker, place ½ cup of wood chips in the chip loader. Never use more than ½ cup of wood chips at a time. Never use wood chunks or wood pellets.
  • Insert wood chip loader into a smoker. Wood chips should be level with the top rim of the wood chip loader.
  • Turn the handle clockwise in direction of the arrow mark on the smoker to unload wood chips. Wood chips will drop into the wood chip tray. Turn the handle counterclockwise to an upright position and leave the wood chip loader in place.
  • If wood chips do not smoke on a low setting, increase the temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes, or when wood chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
  • You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce less intense smoke.
  • Check the wood chip tray periodically to see if the wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
  • Do not leave old ashes in the wood chip tray. Once ashes are cold, empty tray. The tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

ADDING MORE WOOD DURING THE SMOKING PROCESS:
NOTE: Never add more than ½ cup (1 filled chip loader) at a time. Additional chips should not be added until any previously added chips have ceased generating smoke.

  • Pull wood chip loader from the smoker.
  • Place wood chips in a wood chip loader and insert them into a smoker.
  •  Turn the handle clockwise in direction of the arrow mark on the smoker to unload wood chips. Wood chips will drop into the wood chip tray.
  • The temperature may spike briefly after wood chips are added. It will stabilize after a short time. Do not adjust the temperature settings.

CAUTION

  •  Keep smoker door closed when adding wood chips. A flare-up may occur when the door is opened. If wood chips flare up, immediately close the door and vent, wait for wood chips to burn down, then the open door again. Do not spray with water.
  • Wood chip loader will be HOT even if a handle is not.
  • Never use wood chunks or wood pellets

WATER BOWL

  • Wait until the smoker reaches the desired temperature.
  • Fill the water bowl to fill the line with water or liquids like an apple or pineapple juice.
  • You may also add slices of fruit, onions, or fresh dried herbs into the water to blend different subtle flavors into your smoked food.
    Tip: For chicken or other foods high in moisture, little or no liquid is needed.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SMOKER IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.

  • Be sure to clean the smoker after each use. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
  • For rack supports, racks, water bowl, and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • For wood chip tray and wood chip loader, clean frequently to remove ash build-up, residue, and dust.
  • Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water, and discarding them in a noncombustible container.
  • For the interior, glass indoor (if featured), and exterior of the smoker, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to dry thoroughly.
  • After cleaning, store the smoker in a covered and dry area.
  • Check your smoker periodically to avoid possible rust and corrosion due to moisture buildup.

  2.  This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Statment

Warning: Changes or modifications to this smoker not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  1.  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  2.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  3.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  4.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

PRE-SEASONING
PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE. Some smoke may appear during this time, this is normal.

  1.  Make sure water bowl is in place WITHOUT WATER.
  2.  Set temperature to 275°F (135°C) and run smoker for 3 hours.
  3. . Add 1/2 cup of wood chips to the wood chip loader during the last 45 minutes to complete pre-seasoning.
  4.  Shut down and allow to cool.

LOADING FOOD INTO SMOKER

  •  Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at desired cooking temperature before loading food.
  •  DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
  •  Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking.
  •  Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape, may extend cooking time, and may cause wood chips to flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.
  •  There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door, the door latch can be adjusted to further tighten the door seal against the body.
  •  To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch. Turn hook clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut firmly against door latch (see diagram).
  •  Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be emptied periodically during cooking.

WOOD CHIP LOADER

  •  Wood chip loader and wood chip tray MUST be in place when using smoker. This minimizes the chance of wood flare ups.
  •  Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.
  •  Before starting the smoker, place ½ cup of wood chips in chip loader. Never use more than ½ cup of wood chips at a time. Never use wood chunks or wood pellets.
  •  Insert wood chip loader into a smoker. Wood chips should be level with top rim of wood chip loader.
  •  Turn handle clockwise in direction of arrow mark on smoker to unload wood chips. Wood chips will drop into wood chip tray. Turn handle counterclockwise to upright position and leave wood chip loader in place.
  •  If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase the temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes, or when wood chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
  •  You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
  •  Check wood chip tray periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
  •  Do not leave old ashes in the wood chip tray. Once ashes are cold, empty tray. Tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

WATER BOWL

  •  Wait until the smoker reaches the desired temperature.
  •  Fill water bowl to fill line with water or liquids like apple or pineapple juice.
  •  You may also add slices of fruit, onions or fresh dried herbs into the water to blend different subtle flavors into your smoked food. Tip: For chicken or other foods high in moisture, little or no   liquid is needed.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SMOKER IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.

  •  Be sure to clean the smoker after each use. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
  •  For rack supports, racks, water bowl and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  •  For wood chip tray and wood chip loader, clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue and dust.
  •  Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a noncombustible container.
  •  For the interior, glass indoor (if featured), and exterior of smoker, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to dry thoroughly.
  •  After cleaning, store smoker in a covered and dry area.
  •  Check your smoker periodically to avoid possible rust and corrosion due to moisture buildup.
  •  Watch a video with step-by-step instructions on how to clean your smoker at www.youtube.com/ Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse: Cleaning and Storage.
