OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using Solid Fat

Warning:

Do not put solid 

shortening in the oil container or the 

frying basket.

• 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.

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 320º F (160º C).

Installing the “Control Panel With 

the Heating Element” Into its Place

Warning:

Never plug in the Deep 

Fryer before filling with oil to specified 

level.  Always make sure control panel is 

securely in place in the body and the 

heating element  is inside the oil in the 

container before plugging in.

Important:

Ensure the control panel is 

fitted correctly to the main unit otherwise 

the unit will not function.  This is not a 

defect.  This product is fitted with a safety  

interlock switch to prevent the unit from 

turning on accidentally.

Using the Deep Fryer

Pre-Heating
Warning:

Never plug in the Deep Fryer 

before filling with oil. (See "Filling" 

instructions on page 

3

.) Always unplug 

the appliance when not in use. 
• Make sure the oil level in the oil 

container is between the "minimum " 

and "maximum lines on the element 

support plate. Do 

NOT

exceed the "MAX" 

line on the element support plate when 

filling with oil.

• The frying basket should 

not

be immersed 

in the oil during the pre-heating.

• Replace the lid cover.

• Plug the appliance into a 120-volt outlet.

• Turn the temperature control knob to the 

desired temperature. (Fig. 4)

Guide

Rails

Fig. 3

• Lift up the Control Panel with Heating 

Element.

• Insert the "Guide Edges" on the Control 

Panel into the "Guide Rails" 

mounted on the metal body. (Fig. 3)

• Slide the "Guide Edges" down till the 

end.

Important Notice:

The Automatic 

Safety Interlock Switch ensures that the 

unit will not operate unless the Control 

Panel has been inserted into the "Guide 

Rails" on the fryer body correctly.

Pre-Heating 

(cont.)

• Pre-heating the oil will take up to 15 

minutes depending on the temperature 

selected.

• The temperature indicator light will 

come on when the temperature is set 

and the deep fryer is “on” showing that 

the heating element is in operation.  

This light goes off when the set 

temperature is reached. (Fig. 5)  The 

temperature light may go on and off 

several times during frying.  This 

indicates that the temperature is being 

thermostatically maintained.

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 large basket has approximately 

1.25 lb. food capacity.  It will hold 3-4 

average size pieces of chicken. 

• Do not fill the basket higher than the 

bottom of the metal plate on the 

basket with frozen food.

Warning:

When frying foods, 

always

remove the frying basket from 

the deep fryer before filling with food 

because oil will spatter and cause burns. 

Be especially cautious when frying frozen 

foods.

Frying Food

• Always use the frying basket to fry food.

• Always close the glass lid during frying.

• When the oil is pre-heated, the ready 

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 glass 

lid after frying, lift up the lid slightly 

away from you, then wait to allow steam to 

escape before opening the glass lid 

completely.  Keep face away from unit to 

avoid burns caused by escaping steam.

• Set the temperature setting dial to the 

lowest position, (turn fully counter 

clockwise).

• Unplug the power cord from the wall 

socket.

• Lift up the glass lid slowly and wait to 

allow steam to escape before opening 

the glass lid 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:

When you have finished 

frying, always turn the temperature 

setting dial to lowest position, turn off 

power switch and unplug the deep fryer 

from wall outlet.  To avoid injury or burns, 

do not touch any metal surfaces as they 

are hot.

At the End of Cooking

Caution:

When frying frozen 

foods such as French Fries, you 

should not exceed 1.25 Lb. (564 gr.) in 

the large basket. For best crispy results 

limit quantity to 1 Lb. (454 gr.). 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.

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.
