fashion.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Important Safety Information
WARNING!
Burn Hazards
• Hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
•
Oil and water do not mix.
The combination can be dangerous. Accordingly, before pouring oil into the fryer be sure it is
COMPLETELY DRY.
In addition, before placing food in deep fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by
patting dry with paper towels. When the oil is heated, any water droplets in the oil superheat, becoming a volatile steam that can
cause hot oil to spatter, boil over, or even erupt out of the deep fryer.
• Use caution when frying doughs, such as beignets, donuts, dumplings, hushpuppies, and fritters. These foods may develop air
bubbles during heating, which may burst and cause burns. Use the scoop provided or a tongs, rather than a fork, to turn food
during frying and to remove food from oil.
• Use caution when frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During frying, oil can become trapped within these
bubbles. If not properly drained, the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Accordingly, after frying, carefully raise the tortillas out of
the vegetable oil and allow to drain for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING!
Electrical Hazards
To avoid the risk of electrocution or severe disfiguring electrical burns:
• Do not let cord or plug come in contact with water or other liquid.
• Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
Important Fryer Guidelines
•
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from the edge.
• Use vegetable oils, such as peanut, canola, corn, sunflower, soybean, and light olive oil. These oils can withstand the high
temperatures required for deep frying. Do not use extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oils as they deteriorate at temperatures
below those required for deep frying.
• Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
• Avoid preheating oil longer than necessary and unplug the fryer once the last batch of food has been removed. The longer the oil is
heated, the more it deteriorates.
• Always remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer when unit is not in use.
• Always allow fryer to cool completely before removing oil and before cleaning.
• If unit fails to preheat or if the cooking process stops, check cord assembly to assure magnetic
plug is attached to the appliance and the cord is plugged into the wall outlet.
Basket Handle Assembly
The fryer basket will be shipped with the handle in the storage position (the handle will be facing
the inside of the basket).
Before using the basket for deep frying, you must remove the basket
handle and reposition it for deep frying following these steps:
1. Slide lock bar up on handle, squeeze handle bars together, and remove handle from basket.
2. With the lock bar in the up position, reattach handle for frying by placing one of the handle
bars into one of the tabs on bracket (Fig. A). Then squeeze the handle bars together, and fit the
other handle bar into the opposite tab. The pegs should rest on top of the bracket supports.
3. After attaching handle to basket, slide the lock bar down (Fig. B) to the locked position to
ensure against accidental detachment of handle from basket.
