3. next, place one of the pegs in one of the peg holes. Then squeeze the handle bars together and fit
the opposite peg in the other peg hole (Fig. G).
4. While continuing to squeeze the handle bars together and keeping the pegs in the holes, rotate the
handle towards the basket rim, allowing the handle bars to snap into the tabs on the basket bracket
(Fig. h). The handle is now in the locked position.
For instructions on how to insert and position basket in fryer, see step 3 of the "To Fry" section
on page 4.
Important Fryer Guidelines
■
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from coun-
tertop 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. Failure to fill fryer with oil to the
minimum (MIn) fill level will cause overheating and damage to the product. Also never exceed the maximum (MAX) fill level. Using more
than the maximum amount may cause the oil to boil over the top of the fryer. The MIn and MAX fill levels are embossed inside the remov-
able pot (Fig. I). The maximum amount of oil for this fryer is eight, 8-ounce cups and the minimum amount is six, 8-ounce cups.
■ Use vegetable oil, such as corn, sunflower, peanut, or soybean, for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or animal
fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
■
CAUTION: OIl AND WATER DO NOT MIX.
The combination can be dangerous. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil
super-heat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer.
Hot oil can cause severe
burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil into the removable pot be sure that the pot and all parts are COMPlETEly dry. Before placing
food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
■ Use caution when deep frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may develop air bubbles
during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork, when turning food during frying and also
when removing food from oil.
■ 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.
■ Use caution when deep frying raw fries. See special notes on page 4, the Frying Timetable on page 6, and Raw French Fries recipe on
page 6.
■ Always remove plug 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.
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. I). 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. J). When properly aligned, the plug will magneti-
cally attach itself to the appliance.
For proper connection, the magnetic plug end must be parallel with
the countertop
