Important Fryer Guidelines

u

  Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.

Close  supervision  is  necessary  when  any  appliance  is  used  by  or  near  children.  hot  oil  can  cause  serious  and  painful 
burns.

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 control unit, 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. Also, never exceed the maximum fill level. The minimum (MIN) 
and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2).

Use only a good, reliable standard brand of cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in olive oil is not recommended 
because it has a lower smoking temperature.

Do not use solid fat (shortening, butter, margarine, lard). 

Solid fat will not melt uniformly and will cause severe smoking. 

It may also cause the unit to overheat resulting in the reset button tripping. In addition, solid fat will solidify once it has 
cooled making it very difficult to remove or insert the control assembly.

u

  Before deep frying, remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by blotting with toweling—moist foods cause excess 

foaming and/or spattering and may cause oil to overflow. Do not add wet food to cooking oil. even small amounts of moisture 
may cause the oil to spatter, foam, and/or overflow.

Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.

Always unplug cord from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.

Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing any parts, before removing oil, and before cleaning.

Basket Handle Assembly/Storage

your  fryer  will  be  shipped  with  the  basket  handle 
in  the  storage  position  (Fig.  B1). When  ready  to  use 
the  basket  for  frying,  simply  lift  the  handle  out  of 
the  basket.  Then,  gently  squeeze  the  drain  hooks  
(Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket holes, and fit the 
handle bars in the brackets (Fig. D). The handle is now 
in the locked position (Fig. B2). 

Caution:

 To insure against accidental detachment of handle 

from basket during use, always make sure both pegs are in 
the bracket holes and the handle bars are in the brackets  
(Fig. D). 

To unlock the basket handle for storage, gently squeeze 
the drain hooks (Fig. C), keeping the pegs in the bracket 
holes, and fold the handle into the basket.

How To Use

  1.  Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center 

of countertop. Always use the handles on the base when lifting or moving 
the appliance. Never lift or move appliance using control assembly.

  2.  Place removable pot in base.
  3.  Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning the two guides on the 

front of the control unit with the two tracks on the back of the base (Fig. e).
