Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the deep fryer (Fig. A) and read
the instructions carefully.
open the deep fryer cover by lifting the cover handle (Fig. A). Remove the
frying basket, magnetic cord assembly, and any packaging material from
the deep fryer.
Before initial use, clean fryer according to the “Care and Cleaning”
instructions on page 4.
Basket Handle Assembly
Before using the deep fryer, you will need to attach the basket handle to
the basket. Follow these steps:
1. hold the basket in one hand and the basket handle in your other hand.
you will be placing the pegs, which are at the ends of the two basket handle bars, into the two
holes in the basket bracket (Fig. B).
2. While holding the pegs near the peg holes, tilt the handle inward before attempting to place the
pegs in their holes. (you will not be able to fit the second peg into its hole if the handle bars are
positioned too close to the bracket.)
3. next, place one of the pegs in one of the peg holes. Then squeeze the handle bars together and fit
the opposite peg in the other peg hole (Fig. C).
4. While continuing to squeeze the handle bars together and keeping the pegs in the holes, rotate the
handle towards the basket rim, allowing the handle bars to snap into the basket tabs (Fig. C). The
handle is now in the locked position.
Caution:
To insure against accidental detachment of handle from basket during use, always
make sure both pegs are in the peg holes and the handle bars are in the tabs (Fig. C).
Important Fryer Guidelines
■
Use deep fryer only on a clean, dry, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from
countertop edge.
■ hot oil can cause serious and painful burns. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
■ 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.
■ To avoid the risk of electrocution or electrical burns, do not let the cord or plug come in contact
with water or other liquid.
■ never use the deep fryer without oil or with insufficient oil. Failure to fill fryer with oil to the
minimum (MIn) fill level will cause overheating and damage to the product. Also never exceed the
maximum (MAX) fill level. Using more than the maximum amount may cause the oil to boil over
the top of the fryer. The MIn and MAX fill levels are embossed inside the fryer base (Fig. D). The
maximum amount of oil for this fryer is six, 8-ounce cups (48 ounces) and the minimum amount is
four and one half, 8-ounce cups (36 ounces).
■ Use vegetable oil, such as corn, sunflower, peanut, or soybean, for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine, olive oil, or
animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
■
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 fryer be sure that the fryer and all parts are completely dry. Before placing food in
fryer, always remove ice crystals and excess moisture from food by patting dry with toweling.
■ Use caution when deep 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 a slotted spoon or tongs, rather than a fork, when turning food
during frying and also when removing food from oil.
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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
