This is a
Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by
most portable appliance manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. Be sure handle is properly assembled to basket and locked in place. See detailed
assembly instructions on page 5. Failure to securely attach the basket handle can result
in the release of the basket during use, which may result in severe burns.
4. To protect against electrical shock or burns, do not immerse unit, cord, or plug in water
or other liquid.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
6. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
7. Always attach magnetic plug end to appliance first, then plug power cord into the
wall outlet. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet, then magnetic plug end from
appliance.
8. Unplug from wall outlet when unit is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or in the event the appli-
ance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the
Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment. See page 2 for contact information.
10. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto
replacement parts.
11. Do not use outdoors.
12. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
14. It is recommended that this fryer not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot
liquid. If it must be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme
caution.
15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
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 power supply cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord assembly may
not detach easily if the power supply 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 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
pushing the cover release button
on the front of the fryer. Remove
the frying basket, basket handle,
drip cup, magnetic cord assembly,
charcoal filter, and any packaging material from the fryer. Then
lift the removable pot out of the fryer base.
Wash both the basket and the removable pot in warm, soapy
water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Washing the removable pot in
a dishwasher is not recommended.
NOTICE:
If you choose to wash the removable pot in a dish-
washer, 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 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 or replacing removable filter
The charcoal filter, which is located in the cover of the
deep fryer, will help absorb unpleasant odors. For the
deep fryer to effectively absorb these odors, always use
the fryer with the filter in the cover.
