Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the Deep Fryer and remove all packaging materials. Remove
the Deep Fryer Lid, Oil Pan, Oil Pot Filter Screen, Frying Basket, Control Panel
and Housing. Wash all parts except the Control Panel and Power Cord in warm
soapy water. Never immerse the Control Panel and Power Cord, simply wipe
with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the
Deep Fryer. Always ensure all components are completely dry prior to first use
as water will cause severe spattering of the oil.

Warning:

Do not clean the Deep Fryer by heating soapy water in it because

there is danger that the water could overflow. Do not immerse the control
panel or power cord in water. Reassemble the unit after cleaning.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Your deep fryer comes equipped with a removable
screen located in the Oil Pan at the drain. This will prevent large pieces of food
from becoming caught in the drain tap which could cause leaks. Please see
the following important safeguards regarding your Drain Tap:

1

Prior to adding oil ensure that your Drain Tap Lock is in the closed
position and that your Drain Tap Filter is properly seated in the Oil Pan
Drain and free of any food debris. Place the Safety Drain Cap on the Tap.
See page 12. 

2

Never heat oil in your Deep Fryer without first ensuring that your Drain
Tap is not leaking, and that your Drain Cap is securely in place. See page 1 1
for proper installation.

3

Never drain hot oil, or while your Deep Fryer is plugged in. Disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet first and allow the oil to completely cool. 

4

Never attempt to remove the Filter Screen by the Screen itself as this will
permanently damage the Screen. Always grasp from the metal tube and
pull straight up. 

5

To clean the Filter Screen hold the Filter by the metal tube and wash in
warm soapy water. Flush water through the tube to push food particles
out of the screen Never apply pressure to the filter screen itself to 
avoid damage. 

6

Should your Screen become damaged, discontinue use and contact our
customer service department for replacement.
