Before Using Your Deep Fryer
DO NOT immerse the deep fryer in
water.
Make sure the fryer is unplugged. Wash
the fryer baskets and cover in hot, soapy
water. Wipe dry thoroughly. Wipe the
inside of the oil reservoir with a damp
cloth and wipe dry thoroughly before
adding the oil.
Warning:
All components must be
completely dried before filling with oil or
using. Special care must be taken to
ensure the filter compartment and cover
are completely dry, otherwise the filter
will not function properly and may lead to
steam being trapped within the fryer
during use.
Assembling Your Deep Fryer
Caution
: Never turn on the deep fryer
when the oil reservoir is empty. Always
ensure the deep fryer is out of the
reach of children. Always use the deep
fryer on a flat, heat resistant surface.
1. Make sure that the On/Off switch is
in the “Off” position.
2. Attach the “break-away” safety cord.
The top of the cord can be identified
by the “THIS SIDE UP” raised print.
(Fig. 1) When attaching cord - you will
feel a magnetic pull on the cord when
attaching cord correctly.
“This Side Up”
4. To attach the handle to the fryer
basket, pinch the two handle ends
together to insert the metal part of
the handle inside the basket handle
bracket on the fryer basket. (Fig. 3)
3. Pour cooking oil into the oil reservoir
until the oil level is between the
“MIN” and “MAX” marking on the
inside of the oil reservoir.
Do not
exceed the “Max” level for cooking
oil. (Fig. 2)
Press together

Max level
for cooking oil.
MAX
•
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 and
the maximum levels marked inside the
oil reservoir. (Fig. 4) Check the oil level
before each use. For best results, keep
the oil close to the maximum level.
Never
mix different oils and fats
together.
Do not
mix old and new oil.
Filling the Oil Reservoir With Oil
Warning:
Never
plug in the deep
fryer before filling with oil to specified
level.

Using Solid Fat
Warning:
It is
NOT RECOMMENDED
to put solid shortening in the oil reservoir
or the fryer basket.
•
If using solid vegetable shortening,
melt it first in a separate pan and then
very carefully pour the melted fat into
the oil reservoir.
•
Previously used solid vegetable
shortening which has curdled and
hardened in the oil reservoir should be
removed from the oil reservoir and
melted in a separate pan before
reusing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 1
Caution:
If you try to melt the solidified
fat in the oil reservoir, 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 cover is
securely closed while fat is melting.
Heat fat slowly - on lowest temperature
setting.

and on during the frying cycle as the
unit maintains the selected
temperature.
6. Press the cover release button to
open the fryer cover. (Fig. 5)
8. When cooking is complete, open the
