OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.

Warning: 

In order to avoid injury or 

burns, never touch any metal parts on the 
deep fryer because they may be hot.

Filling the Frying Basket

• 

Do not fill the frying basket when it is 
immersed in oil.

• 

Place the food in the frying basket. Do 
not overfill it and never exceed the 
maximum quantities.  For optimum 
results and shorter frying time, basket 
should be only 1/2 full.

• 

The basket has approximately 1.5 lb. 
food capacity.  It will hold 4-5 
average size pieces of chicken.

• 

Do not fill the basket higher than the 
MAX line on the basket with frozen 
food.

Warning: 

When frying foods, remove 

the frying basket from the deep fryer before 
filling with frozen food because oil will 
spatter and cause burns.

Frying Food

Always use the frying basket to fry food.

Always close the lid cover during frying.

• 

When the oil is pre-heated, ready 
indicator light will come on it indicating 
that the desired temperature is reached. 

• 

Slowly lower the frying basket into the 
hot oil. Lowering the frying basket too 
quickly can result in the oil overflowing 
and splashing.

Replace the lid carefully.

• 

It is normal for steam to escape through 
the sides of the lid while frying.

• 

Avoid standing too close to the deep 
fryer while it is working.

Warning: 

When opening the lid cover 

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.

• 

Press the power button and the 
power off.

• 

Unplug the main cord from the wall 
socket.

• 

Lift up the lid cover slowly and wait to 
allow steam to escape before 
opening the lid cover completely.

• 

Lift up the frying basket by the 
handle. Place it on the oil container 
and allow the food to drain for a 
minute.

• 

Once the oil has drained from the 
frying basket, the basket may be 
lifted off and the food served.

Warning: 

Always let the deep fryer 

cool completely (approximately 2 hours) 
before cleaning or storing.  Never carry 
or move the deep fryer with hot oil inside.

At the End of Cooking

• 

Do not mix different oils or new and old 
oil together.

• 

Replace oil regularly.  In general, oil 
will be tainted fast when frying food 
containing a lot of protein, (such as 
poultry, meat and fish).  When oil is 
used mainly to fry potatoes and is 
filtered after each use, it can be used 
up to 8 to 10 times, but do not use the 
same oil for more than 6 months.

• 

Always replace all oil as soon as it 
starts foaming when heated or when 
color becomes dark or when it has a 
rancid smell or taste or becomes 
syrupy.

• 

Make sure that the food to be fried is 
dry.

• 

Remove loose ice from frozen food 
before frying.

• 

To cook evenly, pieces should be the 
same size and thickness.

Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.

Frying Tips

Caution: 

When frying frozen foods such 

as French Fries, you should not exceed 
1.25 Lb. (564 gr.) or less. Clean off any ice 
from frozen food prior to frying. Failure to do 
so may cause fryer to overflow when food is 
placed in oil.

The following cooking times reflect only the approximate time needed to fry one 
basket 1/2 full.  The exact time may be different depending on actual quantity, 
personal cooking preferences, size and thickness of pieces, etc...

Make sure the deep fryer is unplugged 
and the oil has cooled before cleaning 
or storing the deep fryer.

 

The oil does not need to be changed 
after each use.  In general, the oil will 
be tainted rather quickly when frying 
food containing a lot of protein (such 
as poultry, meat or fish).  When oil is 
mainly used to fry potatoes and is 
filtered after each use, it can be used 8 
to 10 times.  However, do not use the 
same oil for longer than 6 months.

 

To filter the oil first make sure the oil 
has cooled and then empty the oil from 
the oil container into another container 
or bottle. Fig. 4
Wash and dry the oil container and 
basket.  Refill the oil container with the 
oil, pouring the oil through a wire 
strainer or paper filter. Fig. 5
