How to use
To fill with oil...
1. open the deep fryer cover.
2. If the frying basket is in the fryer, remove it and set it aside.
3. Fill the removable pot with cooking oil or shortening up to the maximum
oil level line (MAX) which is located on the inside of the removable
pot (Fig. h). Use eight, 8-ounce cups of cooking oil or four pounds
of shortening. The amount of oil in the removable pot must always be
between the MIN and MAX level markings inside the removable pot.
Never exceed the MAX level mark.
To preheat...
1. Close the fryer cover.
2. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end of the cord
assembly with the two electrical pins located in the recessed area of the
fryer base (Fig. I). When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically
attach itself to the appliance.
For proper connection, the magnetic plug end must
be parallel with the countertop
(Fig. J)
.
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.
3. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. Turn the adjustable temperature control (Fig.
A, Page 2) to the desired temperature (see page 7 for proper cooking temperatures).
The recommended setting for most frying is 375°.
Note: When using the fryer for the first time, a slight odor or light
smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is
normal during initial use.
4. The fryer requires a 12 minute preheat time to allow oil to reach
the proper cooking temperature.
5. While oil is preheating, prepare food for cooking.

: To prevent risk of severe personal injury or property
damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
To fry...
1. While frying basket is sitting on countertop,
fill basket up to
2
⁄
3
full with food.
2. Depress the cover release button to open the
cover.
CAUTION: The unit has a special
cool-touch exterior; however, the interior
of the fryer is extremely hot and should
not be touched.
If the cover does not open
completely, slowly tilt the cover back to an
upright position being careful not to touch
hot surfaces.
3. Place the filled frying basket in the removable
pot, aligning the grooves on the sides of the
basket handle with the slot guides on the front
of the base (Fig. K1 and K2), and lower the
basket until it stops. This is the drain/load
position.
4. With your hand on the top of the cool-touch cover, pull it down to the closed position, then press down until it locks in
place.
