How To Use For Frying
1.
Position base on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface in center of countertop.
Always use the handles on the
base when lifting or moving the appliance. Never lift or move appliance using control assembly.
2. Place removable pot in base.
3. Attach the control assembly to the base by aligning the two guides on the front
of the control unit with the two tracks on the back of the base (Fig. G). Slide the
control assembly down (Fig. h) as far as it goes making sure both guides are in the
tracks.
Note: The appliance will only operate when both guides are properly
positioned in the tracks.
4.
Fill removable pot with cooking oil up to the MAX level marking (approximately
4 liters or 4.2 quarts), which is located on the inside of the removable pot (Fig.
A1, page 2). The amount of oil must always be between the MIN and MAX level
markings inside the removable pot (Fig. A1, page 2). Never exceed the MAX level
mark.
5. 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. A2, 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 unit is
still plugged in by looking to see that the red indicator light is on.
6. Plug cord into a 120 volt wall outlet. The red signal light will glow whenever the fryer is
plugged in.
Always make sure fryer and cord are out of reach of children.
7. Turn the thermostatic control to the desired temperature (see page 5 for proper cooking temperatures). The recommended setting
for most frying is 375°.
8. Press the heAT/CooL switch on the control panel (Fig. A1, page 2) to the heAT position to start heating the oil. When the
selected temperature is reached, the green signal light will come on. (Preheat time is approximately 15 minutes.)
9. While oil is heating, prepare food for cooking.
10. Assemble basket handle for frying, see page 3.
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. C and D, page 3).
11. Place basket on countertop and fill basket up to ¾ full with food.
12. When the green signal light comes on, attach filled fry basket to the removable pot using the drain hooks. Then position cover
over basket with cover vents away from basket handle. Raise basket slightly, detaching the drain hooks from the rim. Then slowly
lower the filled basket into the preheated oil until the bottom of the basket rests on top of the heating element.
If frying french
fries or other high moisture foods, immediately remove cover after lowering basket into oil.
Note: For crisper foods, fry without the cover.
Warning: To prevent the risk of severe personal injury or property damage, use caution when cooking with hot oil.
13. Set the timer by pressing the button to the desired time. See page 3 for timer operating instructions. Refer to page 5 for recom-
mended times.
Note: The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn power to the unit on or off.
Caution: It is normal for steam to escape from the cover vents during frying. To prevent steam burns keep hands and face
away from the vents.
14. When the set time has expired, check that the food is golden brown. Then lift the basket and hook it onto the fryer rim to allow
oil to drain from food.
15. empty the food onto absorbent paper. Season to taste.
16. If frying additional food, allow oil to reheat until green signal light comes on and repeat steps 11 through 15.
17. When frying is completed, press the heAT/CooL switch (Fig. A1, page 2) to the CooL position. The built-in fan will begin
cooling the cooking oil. In approximately 50 to 55 minutes the oil should be cool enough for the fryer to be cleaned and stored.
See page 10 for care and cleaning instructions.
18. Remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Remove control assembly before cleaning.
