Operating Instructions
WARNING! This unit should not be used to boil water.
1. Place the Deep Fryer on a clean, dry, flat, heat-resistant surface such as a table or counter top,
approximately 2 feet from a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Press the OPEN LID button and the lid will open automatically.
3. Remove the fry basket from the oil tank. Lift the bottom of the fry basket handle to extend out. An
audible click can be heard as the handle locks into position. Grasp the handle to lift the fry basket
up and off the rim of the oil tank. Set the fry basket aside.
4. Pour liquid cooking oil (corn, vegetable, rapeseed, peanut, etc.) into the tank. Fill with oil to a level
between the MIN (6-1/2 cups /1-1/2 L) and MAX (8-1/2 cups /2 L) marks.
WARNING:
Under- or over-filling the oil tank may damage the Deep Fryer and could result in serious
personal injury.
5. Close the lid until it snaps securely onto the body.
6. Slide the temperature control to OFF.
7. Connect the detachable power cord into the appliance receptacle, with the “THIS SIDE DOWN”
downside. Make sure the cord is firmly in place. Then connect the polarized plug to the wall outlet.
The red HEATING light will NOT illuminate until you slide the temperature control to the desired
cooking temperature.
CAUTION:
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or counter.
8. Slide the temperature control to the desired cooking temperature. A condensed Fry Guide is printed
on the front of the Deep Fryer for basic suggested temperatures.
9. The red HEATING light will illuminate as the Deep Fryer heats the oil. Oil may make a “popping”
sound inside the Deep Fryer as the oil heats. This is normal. When the oil reaches the selected
cooking temperature, the red HEATING light will turn OFF indicating the Deep Fryer is ready for use.
NOTE:
Allow 7 to 10 minutes for the oil to preheat.
10. Carefully place food into the fry basket. Do not overfill fry basket with food.
NOTE:
Maximum food frying capacity is 1.2 lb./.6 Kg. at one time. The fry basket should never be
more than 2/3 full of food to be fried.
11. Press the OPEN LID button to unlock and open the lid.
12. Grasp fry basket handle and carefully lower fry basket with food into the hot oil. Close the lid. Press
the basket handle release button to collapse the handle and rest outside the front of the Deep Fryer.
WARNING:
This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Use proper precautions
to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property.
13. As the Deep Fryer cooks the food and the oil cools, the red HEATING light will cycle on and off as
proper cooking temperature of the oil is maintained. See the Cooking Chart for sample cooking
times and temperatures.
14. Check the food’s cooking progress through the viewing window.
CAUTION:
Do not open lid during cooking! Hot oil could spatter out of the Deep Fryer causing burns
or other injuries.
WARNING:
Use caution when opening lid; steam escapes as soon as the lid is opened. Use oven
mitts when handling hot materials.
15. Open the lid and turn food as needed. When food is cooked to desired doneness, using oven mitts,
lift the fry basket handle to extend. An audible click can be heard as the handle locks into position.
Using the basket’s 2 wire hangers, carefully hook the fry basket up and over the front of the oil tank.
Allow cooked foods to drain for 5-10 seconds.
NOTE:
To prevent early degradation of the oil, do not add salt or other spices to the food during
frying or when the food is draining above the frying oil.
16 DO NOT touch fry basket wires as they are very hot!
17. Use a heat-resistant long-handled fork or tongs to remove cooked food or pour cooked foods from
fry basket onto absorbent paper towels to soak up excess oil.
18. Replace fry basket into the oil. Close lid, allow unit to reheat to desired temperature and continue to
deep fry another batch of food, if desired.
19. When all cooking is complete, slide the temperature control to OFF; finish removing all fried food
from the fry basket onto wire racks or absorbent paper towels.
20. Unplug the plug from the wall outlet, then detach the cord from the appliance receptacle.
21. Close the lid and allow oil and Deep Fryer to cool.
WARNING! Oil will remain hot for an extended period of time. Be sure all parts of the Deep Fryer
and the oil have cooled completely before discarding or storing oil and cleaning the unit.
