Of course the original manual is there.

My parents had a Bendix brand electric stove (from around 1952 or so), and it had the deep fryer pot feature as well. That stove is long gone, but we kept the deep fryer pot, and it gets used to boil spaghetti. But the sauce is done in another pot. We sit it atop a regular burner. It's made of aluminum and I think my mom once cooked something with tomatoes, and tomato sauce will etch aluminum. So lots of little pits in the bottom. Oops. Heard it said that you really don't want aluminum compounds in the food.
