Before First Use

Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A1) and read the instructions carefully. 
Remove all packing material and disassemble unit for cleaning. Take the frying baskets out of the unit. Remove the 
cord assembly from the basket and set aside. Then, lift the control assembly out of the unit. Wipe the control assembly 
(control unit with heating element) with a damp cloth. 

Never immerse the control assembly, cord, or plug in water.

Lift the removable pot out of the base and wash the pot, frying baskets, and fryer cover in dishwasher or in warm, 
sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 

Reset Button

The deep fryer is equipped with a sensor which will automatically shut the unit off if it is overheated. Overheating can 
occur if the unit is heated without oil, with insuffi cient oil, or with older oil that has become thick. Should the unit shut 
off, unplug and allow the unit to cool. Then with the tip of a pen or pencil, press the red RESET button on the back of 
the control unit (Fig. A2). The unit will not operate until it is reset.
