1. Assemble the oil tank and heating element into the housing. Ensure
the cord is not plugged into an outlet at this time.
2. Use only good quality frying oil such as peanut, vegetable, corn, canola,
or light olive oil. (It is recommended to not mix different oils). Fill the
tank with oil between the MIN and MAX markings.
3. Connect the magnetic power cord to the back of the control box. This
cord is designed to attach only one way. Look for “this side up” on
the plug.
4. Plug the power cord into an outlet.
5. Set the temperature control to desired setting and set the timer to 30
minutes. The POWER and HEAT lights will turn on. Cover with the lid.
6. While oil is preheating, prepare the food that is going to be fried. When
frying frozen food, clear off all ice, as adding ice or water to the hot oil
will cause oil to splatter.
7. When the desired temperature has been reached, the HEAT light will go
off. (This light will cycle on and off during cooking as temperature is
maintained.)
8. Remove the lid and lower the basket of food into the hot oil. Put the lid
back on.
Always cover the oil tank with the lid when frying; splattered
oil can damage the control box over time.
9. Reset the timer to the desired frying time. The timer control will sound
when selected time has elapsed.
10. When food is done, remove the lid, raise the basket, and hook it onto the
oil tank/edge of housing to drain. Then drain the cooked food on paper
towels.
11. When finished frying, unplug the cord from the outlet.
Tips:
• Overloading the basket will cool the oil, causing the food to be
soggy (it will take longer to cook). Do not add more food than
it takes to cover the top of the oil in one layer.
• Replace the oil after several uses, before the oil becomes brown
and thick. If frying fish, you may want to keep separate oil for fish
only (it can make other foods taste fishy).
• When using wet batter, prevent it from sticking to the basket by
lowering the empty basket into the hot oil first. Add food, one
piece at a time, to the oil with a slotted spoon.
