3. Using the Deep Fryer / Fondue Maker
Warning:
Never plug in the Deep Fryer / Fondue Maker before filling with oil or fondue liquid.
Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
Pre-Heating
• Make sure the oil level in the bowl (# 6) is between the “minimum” and “maximum”
lines inside the bowl (# 6). (See page 3, Fig. 2.)
• The frying basket (# 4) should not be immersed in the oil during the pre-heating.
• Plug the appliance into a 120-volt outlet.
• The “On” indictor (#12) will come on, then select the temperature on the temperature setting
knob (# 10) .
• The temperature indicator light (# 11) will come on when the temperature has been set.
• The temperature indicator light (#11) goes “Off” when the temperature has been reached.
The light may go “On” and “Off” several times during frying. This indicates that the
temperature is thermostatically maintained.
• Pre-heating the oil will take up to 15 minutes depending on the temperature selected.
Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket (# 4) when it is immersed in oil.
• Place the food in the frying basket (# 4). Do not overfill it and never exceed the maximum
quantities. For optimum results and shorter frying time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
• Do not fill the basket more than 3/4 full with frozen food.
Warning:
When frying foods, remove the frying basket (# 4) from the deep fryer before filling
with frozen food because oil will spatter and cause burns.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket (# 4) to fry food.
• Always close the cover (# 2) during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, temperature indicator light (# 11) will go off to indicate desired
temperature is reached.
• Slowly lower the frying basket (# 4) into the hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too quickly can
result in the oil overflowing and splashing.
• It is normal for steam to escape through the sides of the cover (#2) while frying.
• Avoid standing too close to the deep fryer while it is working.
Warning:
When opening the lid cover (#10) after frying, lift up the lid slightly, then wait to allow
steam to escape before opening the lid completely. Keep face away from unit to
avoid burns caused by escaping steam.
