Important Fryer Guidelines
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns.
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or
plugs in their mouths.
To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the control unit, cord, or plug come in contact with water or
other liquid.
Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.
Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Also never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum (MIN)
and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2).
Use only a good, reliable standard brand of cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in olive oil is not recommended
because it has a lower smoking temperature.
Do not use solid fat (shortening, butter, margarine, lard). Solid fat will not melt uniformly and will cause severe smoking.
It may also cause the unit to overheat resulting in the reset button tripping. In addition, solid fat will solidify once it has cooled
making it very difficult to remove or insert the control assembly.
Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess foaming and
spattering. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. Even small amounts of water may cause the oil to spatter.
Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.
Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing any parts, before removing oil, and before cleaning.
Basket Handle Assembly/Storage
Your fryer will be shipped with the basket handles in the storage posi-
tion (Fig. B1). When ready to use the baskets for frying, simply lift
the handles out of the baskets. Then, gently squeeze the drain hooks
(Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket holes, and fit the handle bars
in the brackets (Fig. D). The handle is now in the locked position
(Fig. B2).
Caution: To insure against accidental detachment of handles
from baskets during use, always make sure both pegs are in the
bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets (Fig. D).
To unlock the basket handles for storage, gently squeeze the
drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket holes, and
fold the handle into the basket.
How To Use
1. Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-
resistant surface in center of countertop. Always use
the handles on the base when lifting or moving the
appliance. Never lift or move appliance using control
assembly.
2. Place removable pot in base.
3. Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning
the two guides on the front of the control unit with the
two tracks on the back of the base (Fig. E). Slide the
control assembly down (Fig. F) as far as it goes making
sure both guides are in the tracks. Note: The appliance will only operate when both guides are properly positioned in the
tracks.
4. Fill removable pot with cooking oil up to the MAX level marking, which is located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig.
A1, page 2). Your fryer will need approximately 5 quarts of cooking oil. The amount of oil must always be between the MAX
and MIN level markings inside the removable pot (Fig. A1). Never exceed the MAX level mark.
5. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two electrical pins located on the back of the control
unit (Fig. A2, page 2). The plug can be attached in either direction.
