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 cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned in this
fashion.
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
fry/steam 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, fry/steam 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 or water or
with insufficient oil or water. It can also
occur if using solid fat or older oil that
has become thick. Should the unit shut
off, unplug and allow the unit to cool.
Correct the cause of overheating. Then
with the tip of a pen, press the red RESET
button on the back of the control unit
(Fig. A2). The unit will not operate until
it is reset.
Important Fryer Guidelines
u
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from countertop edge.
u
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. hot oil can cause serious and painful burns.
u
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.
u
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.
u
never use the deep fryer without the removable pot.
u
CAUTION: OIl AND WATER DO NOT MIX. The combination can be dangerous. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in
the oil super-heat, becoming a volatile steam that can cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer. Hot oil
can cause severe burns!
Accordingly, before pouring oil into the removable pot be sure that the pot and all parts are COMPlETEly dry. Before
placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
u
never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil, which will cause overheating and damage to the product. Also never
exceed the maximum fill level. Using more than the maximum amount may cause the oil to boil over the top of the fryer. The minimum
(MIn) and maximum (MAX) fill levels are embossed inside the removable pot (Fig. A1).
u
Use only a good, reliable brand of cooking oil for deep frying. Deep frying foods in olive oil is not recommended because it has a
lower smoking temperature.
u
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
Do not use cover while frying french fries and other high moisture foods.
