3. Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning the two guides on the front of
the control unit with the two tracks on the back of the base (Fig. D). Slide the control
assembly down (Fig. E) as far as it goes making sure both guides are in the tracks.
NOTE:
The appliance will only operate when both guides are properly positioned in
the tracks.
4.
Fill removable pot with cooking oil up to the MAX level marking, which is located on
the inside of the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). Your fryer will need approximately
5 liters (170 ounces) of cooking oil. The amount of oil must always be between the
MAX and MIN level markings inside the removable pot (Fig. A1). Never exceed the
MAX level mark.
5. Place cover on deep fryer.
6. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two electrical pins located on
the back of the control unit (Fig. A2, page 2).
NOTE:
Be sure the plug side marked “THIS SIDE UP”
is facing up as the magnetic plug can only be attached one way.
IMPORTANT:
The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the fryer. As a result, if it is
bumped or touched during use it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact
with cord during operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.
7. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
Whenever the unit is plugged in the red power
light will be illuminated.
Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
8. Turn the thermostatic control to the desired temperature (see page 6 for proper cooking temperatures). The recommended setting for
most frying is 375°F. While oil is heating, the green ready light will be illuminated.
NOTE:
The black cover vents will expand and appear to change shape when the fryer is heating. When the cover cools, the vents
will contract and appear to return to their original position. Both the expansion and contraction are normal.
9. When the selected temperature is reached, the green ready light will go out. (Preheat time is approximately 20 minutes.) While oil is
heating, proceed to steps 10, 11, and 12.
10. Prepare food for cooking. Remove excess moisture or ice crystals from food by patting it dry with paper towels. Moist foods may
cause excess foaming, spattering, and crackling.
11. Assemble basket handles for frying, see page 3.
To insure against accidental detachment of handles from baskets during use, always make sure both pegs are in the bracket pockets
and the handle bars rest against the basket rims (Fig. C, page 3).
12. Place baskets on countertop on paper towels and fill baskets ¾ full with food. (For raw fries, only fill baskets ⅓ full.)
NOTE:
Fryer may be used with one or two baskets.
13. Remove cover from fryer and carefully and slowly lower the baskets into the preheated oil until the bottoms rest on top of the heating
element. If using just one basket, place it on either the left or right side.
When lowering baskets that contain raw fries or high moisture foods, do not allow the oil to bubble up to the rim of the fryer. If it
appears that the oil will bubble up to the rim, raise the baskets and allow the oil bubbles to subside and then slowly lower the baskets
again. Repeat until the baskets are completely lowered into the fryer.
WHEN FRYING RAW FRIES OR OTHER HIGH MOIS-
TURE FOODS, DO NOT USE THE FRYER COVER!
For foods other than raw fries or other high moisture foods, position cover on the fryer so the handle slots are over the basket handles.
WARNING!
To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
14. Begin timing. Refer to page 6 for recommended times.
CAUTION!
It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents and handle slots during frying. To prevent steam burns, keep hands
and face away from the vents and slots.
15. When frying time has elapsed, remove cover and check that the food is golden brown. Once the food is done, lift the baskets and
hook them onto the fryer rim to allow oil to drain from food.
16. Carefully lift the baskets out of the fryer and empty the food onto paper towels. Season to taste.
17. If frying additional food, repeat steps 12 through 15. If ready light is on, allow oil to reheat until ready light goes out.
18. When frying is complete, remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Allow oil and fryer to cool completely before
removing control assembly and before cleaning.
