NEVER turn on the heating element without sufficient oil in the oil pan. NEVER allow the oil to boil in the oil
pan without food.
Set the temperature to the desired setting, which will “turn on” the fryer. The green “power”
indicator light will turn on when the temperature control dial has been turned past 0º. Preheat the fryer for 10 to 15
minutes. The red “heat” indicator light will turn on when the oil has reached the set temperature.
To fry foods covered in batter
: carefully remove the lid and carefully lower the fryer basket into the hot oil. Then,
carefully drop the food directly into the oil and close the lid
To fry unbuttered foods:
place the food directly into the basket and carefully place the basket into the fryer, and
close the lid
Set the timer to the estimated number of minutes required for cooking (based on the information on the food package,
the recipe being followed, or the Recommended Frying Times chart in this manual. The timer will countdown from the
selected time, a maximum of 60 minutes. The timer will chime when the time has completed counting down.
THE TIMER DOES NOT TURN OFF THE FRYER. Keep and eye on the timer to determine when the countdown is
complete.

Only turn the timer dial clockwise.
Forcing the dial to turn counter clockwise could break the timer.
When the food is finished frying, remove the lid, carefully raise the fryer basket,
and hook the fryer basket on the front edge of the oil pan and base to drain.
CAUTION! Do not allow the condensation that has built up on the lid to
drain into the oil. Oil and water do not mix, and adding water to the hot oil
will create a violent splattering reaction that could cause injury and burns
to your hands, arms and face.
After the food has drained, carefully empty the food from the fryer basket onto a
plate or bowl lined with paper towels.
CAUTION! The food will still be very hot,
and should not immediately be eaten or handled with bare hands!
Add more oil as needed, and allow the fryer to reheat to the set temperature by watching the indicator light between
batches.
The fryer is equipped with a safety thermostat that will automatically shut down the unit in the event that it overheats.
If the fryer overheats, follow the steps in Troubleshooting section of this manual.
To turn off the deep fryer, turn the temperature control dial to the “0º” position and unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Allow the oil to cool completely before moving or cleaning the deep fryer, roughly 3-4 hours.
