How to use for Steaming and Boiling
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 on page 3.
note: To avoid steam damage to cabinets when using the steaming and boiling function, position the deep fryer so that it is not
directly under cabinets.
2. For boiling, fill removable pot with water up to the MAX level marking, which is located on the inside of the removable pot
(Fig. A1, page 2). your fryer will need approximately 5 quarts of water for boiling. never exceed the MAX level mark.
For steaming, fill removable pot with water up to the MIn level marking, which is located on the inside of the removable pot
(Fig. A1, page 2). your fryer will need approximately 4 quarts of water for steaming. Do not use less than the minimum.
3. Attach the cord to the unit by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two electrical pins located on the back of the control unit
(Fig. A3, page 2). The plug can be attached in either direction.
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.
4. Plug cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only. Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
5. Turn the thermostatic control to 300˚ and place the cover on the deep fryer.
6. While water is heating, prepare food for cooking.
note: The black cover vents will expand and appear to change shape when the fryer is heating. When the cover cools, the vents
will contract and appear to return to their original position. Both the expansion and contraction are normal.
7. Assemble basket handles for cooking, see page 3.
To insure against accidental detachment of handles from baskets during use, always make sure both pegs are in the bracket holes
and the handle bars are in the brackets (Fig. C and D, page 3).
8. Place baskets on countertop and fill each basket up to ¾ full with food. Do not exceed 1½ pounds per basket.
note: Unit may be used with one or two baskets.
9. When water begins to boil (approximately 12 to 17 minutes), remove cover and attach either one or both of the filled baskets to
the removable pot using the drain hooks. If using just one basket, place it on either the right or left side. Then position cover over
basket or baskets with cover vents away from basket handles.
If steaming, leave basket hooked on removable pot.
If boiling, slowly lower the filled baskets one at a time into the water until the bottom of the basket rests on top of the heating
element.
10. Begin timing. Refer to page 8 for recommended times.
Caution: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during boiling and steaming. To prevent steam burns keep hands and
face away from the vents.
11. When cooking time has elapsed, remove cover and then remove baskets from fryer if the food was steamed. If food was boiled, lift
the baskets and hook them onto the fryer rim to allow food to drain.

Cut tortillas into quarters. Place about 1 teaspoon of bean mixture in center. Brush edges with mix-
ture of flour and water. Fold in half and press to seal; keep covered as you work. Continue until all
are made.
Makes 32.
Let stand 5 minutes before frying to allow edges to stick together. Deep fry 3 or 4 at a time at 375˚
for 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Alternate method: Cut tortillas into 8 pieces. Fry in hot oil. heat bean dip and serve with fried
chips..
