smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is
normal during initial use.

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.
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 slot guides on the front of the base (Fig. K
and Fig. L), 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 to lower the basket into the oil.
6. Begin timing. Refer to page 7 for recommended times. During the first few min-
utes 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.
