◆
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.
◆
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). To use the basket, 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 brack-
ets (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.
Installing/Replacing Removable Filter
The charcoal filter, which is located in the cover of the deep fryer,
will help absorb unpleasant odors.
To install or replace the filter, first remove the filter cover (Fig. E)
by pushing the release tab towards the window while simultane-
ously lifting up on the tab. Then rotate the filter cover towards the cover handle and pull the
filter cover off. If replacing an old filter, remove old filter and discard. Unwrap new charcoal
filter and insert it in the filter compartment. Replace the filter cover by fitting the two tabs on
the filter cover in the slots on the fryer cover. Then snap into place by pushing down.
Replacement filters are available for purchase. Order by fryer model number on the web at
www.GoPresto.com or call the Presto Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441.
Timer Operating Instructions
Note: The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn power to the unit on or
off.
1. Turn the timer on by holding the button (Fig. F) down until 00 is visible in the display
screen.
2. Press the button once for each individual minute or hold the button down to increase the
display time rapidly until you have reached the desired time. The timer can be set for 1
to 30 minutes.
The timer will automatically begin counting down approximately two seconds after it is set and
it will begin to flash so you know it is working.
To reset the timer to zero, press the timer button for about two seconds.
3. When there is just one minute left on the timer, you will hear two beeps to alert you that time is
almost up. In addition, the seconds remaining will now be displayed.
When the set time has expired, the timer will beep several times. After about one minute, the
display screen will go blank.
