drawer out; place on a flat, clean work area.

There are 2 tabs on each side of the handle. Slide 
the 2 handle tabs into the notches on the top of the basket drawer. With the basket lock 
forward, place and the button depressed, an audible click can be heard as the frying 
basket handle locks securely into place. (See Figure 3.)
