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 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
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. While oil is preheating, prepare food for cooking.
5. When the oil has reached the proper cooking temperature, the indicator light will go out. (Preheat time is approximately 10 minutes.)

: To prevent risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
To fry...
1. Place frying basket on countertop and fill basket up to
2
⁄
3
full with food.
noTE: For raw fries, only fill basket ½ full.
2. Push 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 guide ribs on the front of the base (Fig. L and Fig. M), 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.
noTE: When frying raw fries, leave cover in open position until basket has been lowered into oil.
5. Slide the basket lowering button forward and slowly lower the basket into the oil.
noTE: When lowering basket that contains raw fries, observe that the oil does not bubble up to the
rim of the removable pot. If it appears that the oil will bubble up to the rim, raise the basket and allow
the oil bubbles to subside and then slowly lower the basket again. Repeat until the basket is completely
lowered into the fryer.
6. Begin timing. Refer to page 5 for recommended times. During the first few minutes it is normal for
steam to appear on the viewing window. This will slowly disappear during cooking if the window is
kept clean between uses.
CAUTION: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam
burns, keep hands and face away from the vents.
Note:
high moisture foods, such as french fries, produce more steam than other foods. The fryer is
designed to ensure that excessive moisture does not remain in the fryer. Thus when frying moist foods,
you may see beads of condensation on the exterior of the fryer. This is normal.
7. When frying time has elapsed, lift up on the basket handle to raise the basket to the drain position.
8. Push the cover release button to open the cover. Allow the steam to vent and then slowly tilt the cover back to an upright position being
careful not to touch hot surfaces. Check that the food is golden brown. If more cooking time is needed, close the cover and slide the basket
lowering button forward to lower the basket back into the oil.
9. once the food is done, carefully lift the basket out of the fryer. Then empty the food on absorbent paper. Season to taste.
10. If frying additional food, close fryer cover and wait for indicator light to go out. Then repeat steps 1 through 9.
Care and Cleaning
1. Remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer and allow oil and fryer to cool completely with the cover closed.
2. After unit has cooled completely, open cover. Lift the removable pot out of the deep fryer using the two carrying handles.
3. If you plan to reuse the cooking oil, it is recommended that you strain the oil to remove any food particles. Store oil in a tightly sealed
container and keep where it will not be exposed to heat or direct light.
4. Detach the basket handle from the basket and wipe handle with a damp cloth to clean. To detach the basket handle for cleaning, squeeze
the handle bars together and tilt the handle towards the interior of the basket. While continuing to squeeze the handle bars, remove the pegs
from the peg holes.
5. Wash the frying basket, with the handle removed, and the removable pot with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads on the removable pot or the cool-touch base. If necessary, clean oil residue with a heavy-duty nylon
