Important Cord and plug InformatIon

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 

DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.

Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned 
in this fashion.

Important fryer guidelines

  Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.

 

hot  oil  can  cause  serious  and  painful  burns.  Close  supervision  is  necessary  when  any  appliance  is  used  by  or  near  
children. 

 

To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns, do not let children handle or put electrical cords or 
plugs in their mouths.

 

To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come in contact with water or other  
liquid.

 

Never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.

 

Never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Also, never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum 
(MIN) and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (see Fig. h, page 4).

 

Use only a good, reliable standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, 
margarine, olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.

  Before deep frying, remove excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling— moist foods cause excess foaming and 

spattering. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. even small amounts of water may cause the oil to spatter.

  Always make sure the cover and all other parts of the deep fryer are thoroughly dry before frying.

 

Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped 
within these bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, 
carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds.

 

Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.

 

Always allow fryer to cool completely with cover closed before removing oil and cleaning.

Before first use

Become  familiar  with  the  various  parts 
of  the  deep  fryer  (Fig. A)  and  read  the 
instructions carefully.

Cleaning before first use...

Wipe the fryer cover and cool-touch fryer 
base with a damp cloth.

 Never immerse 

the fryer base in water or other liquid. 
Never wash the cover parts or fryer base 
in a dishwasher. 

open the deep fryer cover by depressing 
the cover release button on the front of the 
fryer.  Remove  the  frying  basket,  basket 
handle, charcoal air filter, and any packag-
ing material from the deep fryer. Then lift 
the  removable  pot  out  of  the  fryer  base. 
Wash both the basket and removable pot in 
hot, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. 
Washing the removable pot in a dishwasher 
is not recommended. If you choose to wash 
the  removable  pot  in  a  dishwasher,  the 
exterior  of  the  removable  pot  will  likely 
discolor  due  to  the  caustic  nature  of  the 
dishwasher detergent.
