The manual is complete with excellent quality! One suggestion, show number of pages and weather it is multi-lingual. The AD 600 Manuel is about 76 pages and over half is non English. This results in a larger print job than usually needed. Having this information, one could select the desired pages for printing.
This is an excellent handbook. We had no information on the appliance until we obtained this and are now able to use the appliance to its full potential. Strongly recommended.
Very happy to find this from owners-manual.com and the enclosed spec sheet as well.

Before using for the first time
Before using for the first time Clean the Deep Fryer before using for the first time. Fill the oil reservoir with approx. 1 gallon of water and add some dishwashing liquid. Turn the control knob clockwise to 265° F (130°C) and bring the water to a boil. Once it has started to boil, turn the control knob back to �0�. Drain the water using the drain valve into a heat resistant container. Remember to close the drain valve. Rinse out the oil reservoir with hot water. Raise the heating element and dry the reservoir with a clean cloth. To fry, remove the lid and fill the oil reservoir to the mark with about 3/4 gallon of clean vegetable or frying oil. The reservoir will hold a maximum of 1 gallon of oil. If fat or lard is used: Cut it into small pieces first. When re-using solidified fat, poke a few holes in it as far down as the element. Melt the fat at a temperature of 212°F (100°C). When all the fat has melted, set the Fryer to the desired cooking temperature. Never turn on the Fryer without oil or fat in the reservoir, or with the lid closed.
