•
Please note: During the first use, the deep fryer may give off a slight
odor. This is normal and due to the newness of the product.
•
Make sure the oil level in the container is between
the “minimum” and “maximum” lines inside the
container.
•
Turn the basket lifting knob (#9) counter-clockwise
to raise the basket to the up position. Fig. 10.
After filling the basket, turn knob clockwise to lower.
•
Close the lid (#12).
•
Plug the appliance into a 120-volt outlet.
•
Select the required temperature on the temperature setting dial (#7).
(See section 5 – Temperature Settings)

•
If using solid vegetable shortening, melt it first in a separate pan and
then very carefully pour the melted fat into the oil container.
•
Previously used solid vegetable shortening
which has curdled and
hardened in the oil container should
be removed from the oil container
and melted in a separate pan before reusing.
2. FILLING THE STAINLESS STEEL
CONTAINER WITH OIL
Warning
: Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to
specified level. Always make sure control part is securely in
place in the body and the heating element is inside the oil in
the container before plugging in.
Fig. 9
•
Use blended vegetable oil, pure corn oil or
canola (rapeseed) oil. Do not use olive oil,
margarine, lard or drippings.
•
The oil level must always be maintained
between the minimum (11 cup) and maximum
(13 cup) levels marked inside the oil container
(approx. 2.5 liters). Check oil level before
each use. For best results, keep the oil close
to the maximum level. Fig. 9
•
Never mix different oils and fats together. Do
not mix old and new oil.
Using Solid Fat
Warning
:
Do not put solid shortening in the oil container or frying basket.
Warning
:
If you try to melt the solidified fat in the oil container, there is a
risk of warm melted fat suddenly sputtering from below through
the still solid top layer of fat. Therefore use only the following
procedure:
•
Make sure the fat is at room temperature. If the fat is very cold there is a
greater risk of splashing.
•
Using a fork, carefully make some holes in the fat. Make sure the lid is
securely closed while fat is melting. Set temperature dial to 320ºF
(160ºC).

3. USING THE FRYER
Pre-Heating
Safety Timer: Setting the Timer Will Turn the
Deep Fryer “On”
Warning
:
Never touch any metal parts on the deep fryer because they
may be hot.
Warning:
Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil. (See
instructions in section #2.) Always unplug the appliance when
not in use.
•
To pre-heat the oil, set the timer at 15 minutes turning the timer setting
dial (#8) clockwise. Fig. 11

Warning:
Never plug in the Deep Fryer before filling with oil to
specified level. Always make sure control part is securely
in place in the body and the heating element is inside the
oil in the container before plugging in.
•
Setting the timer will automatically turn “on”
the deep fryer
. The red light indicates that the
unit is “on”. The timer will turn the unit “off” at
the end of the selected time period and the red
light will go “off”.
•
The yellow light above the temperature dial will
come on when the temperature is set and the
deep fryer is “on” showing that the heating
element is in operation. The yellow light goes
off when the set temperature is reached.
•
The temperature light may go on and off several times during frying.
This indicates that the temperature is thermostatically maintained.
