OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Frying Basket
• Do not fill the frying basket when it is
immersed in oil.
• Do not fill the basket higher than the
MAX line on the basket with frozen
food. (Fig. 7)
• For optimum results and shorter frying
time, basket should be only 1/2 full.
When frying frozen foods such as French
Fries, remove the frying basket from the
deep fryer before filling with frozen food
because oil will spatter and may cause
burns. You should not fill the frying basket
more than halfway. 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.
Frying Food
• Always use the frying basket to fry food.
• Always close the lid cover during frying.
• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready

Using the Auto-Lift Frying Basket
indicator light will come on, 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.

the frying basket with the frying basket
cover. (See page 7)
• Depress the auto-lift button that is on
the handle of the frying basket to
unlock the handle and the frying basket
