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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
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 im-
merse 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 pushing the cover release button on the front of the
fryer. Remove the frying basket, basket handle, drip cup, magnetic cord assembly,
charcoal air filter, and any packaging 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.
Insert the drip cup into the back of the unit with the tab
side out (Fig. B).
Positioning removable pot in fryer base...
After cleaning, place the removable pot back in the fryer
base. The terminal pins on the bottom of the removable
pot fit in the receptacle inside the fryer base (Fig. C). The spring loaded thermostat makes it easy to
place the pot in the base. Instead of a snap fit which requires precise positioning, the fryer's pot floats
in the base. Simply position the pot so the ▼ on the front of the pot aligns with the front seam of the
base (Fig. D). Then close the cover. If the cover closes, the pot is in the correct position.
Installing/replacing removable filter...
The mesh charcoal filter, which is located in the cover of the deep fryer, will help absorb unpleas-
ant odors. For the deep fryer to effectively absorb these odors, always use the fryer with the filter
in the cover.
To install or replace the filter, first close the fryer cover. Then, push the release latch on the filter
cover (Fig. E) towards the back of the fryer and remove the filter cover. If replacing an old filter,
remove old filter and discard. Unwrap new charcoal filter and insert it in the filter compartment.
Replace the filter cover by holding it at an angle and insert the two tabs into the cover slots. Snap
into place by pushing down.
Replacement filters may be purchased through the Presto Consumer Service Department. Call
1-800-877-0441 (see page 7) or order on the web at www.GoPresto.com.
Attaching basket handle to basket...
Before using the deep fryer, you will need to attach the basket handle to the basket. Follow these steps:
1. hold the basket in one hand and the basket handle in your other hand. The PRESTo logo on
the handle should be facing up. you will be placing the pegs, which are at the ends of the two
basket handle bars, into the two holes in the basket bracket (Fig. F).
2. While holding the pegs near the peg holes, tilt the handle inward before attempting to place the
pegs in their holes. (you will not be able to fit the second peg into its hole if the handle bars are
positioned too close to the bracket.)
